The beach is truly enchanting, especially during the night. You can witness the Gwangan Bridge light up with a plethora of colorful lights, and the boats below setting off fireworks. Additionally, on Saturdays, they put on a drone show with varying themes that is truly stunning.

This beach is an absolute gem that I highly recommend visiting. It boasts a spacious stretch of sand that is impeccably maintained, making it a pristine spot to soak up the sun. The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful, adding to the overall allure of the location. If you're looking to avoid the crowds, I suggest visiting in the early hours of the day - not only will you have more space to enjoy, but you'll also be able to capture some stunning shots of the scenery.

Whenever I need a break, I find solace in visiting the beach. It's impeccably clean and easily accessible from the city. Swimming is only permitted during certain seasons, but there are numerous restaurants, convenience stores, coffee shops, and street food vendors to choose from. The restrooms are spotless and free, and there's ample parking available. Nearby attractions like Dewangam Park and Seuldo Beach are popular with tourists, and watching the sunrise over the ocean is truly heartwarming. Ilsan Beach is a great option for spending weekends with friends and family, and sometimes even on weekdays. ❤️
