Latest reviews on South Jeolla's beaches

Myeongsasimni Beach
10 Nate Carson

If you're searching for a beach, this is the one to visit. It's incredibly clean and has a lengthy shallow area. There are also plenty of reasonable local food choices, as well as ample parking and rental options.

Ungcheon Beach Park
10 지구주석

This place is amazing! I tried windsurfing for the first time today and it was a blast. I've been to Yeosoo several times before, but I had never heard of this beach until someone I know recommended it to me. I'm so glad I came here - it's definitely worth a visit. The facilities are well-equipped with toilets and showers, and they offer free rentals for paddleboards, windsurfing gear, kayaks, and snorkeling equipment. Just make sure to book your visit ahead of time if you want to use any of the rides.

This beach offers a mesmerizing view of the sunrise on the east coast, especially between the Dadohae Islands. The local youth association runs a shop where you can buy Makgeolli for 2500 won and butane gas for 2000 won, but the prices are quite steep. Be sure to come prepared. Additionally, it is important to dispose of garbage properly using the volume-based waste disposal bag and separate it accordingly. Trash can be a problem on weekends. However, the availability of water and the unopened campground are a plus. The beach features two water intakes on either side, making it convenient for visitors.

Jeongdori Gugyedeung Beach

There were bits of styrofoam scattered around on the gravel, likely due to a recent typhoon or heavy rain. Despite this, the view from the beach was quite picturesque with several small islands nestled in the scenery. As you walked along the shore, you could hear the pebbles crunching beneath your feet and the waves crashing against the rocks. In the distance, the sound of children playing on the rocks added to the overall ambiance of the beach.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 7 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the region is August - air temperature during this time warms up to 28°C and water up to 27°C. The coldest month is January - air temperature drops to 6.3°C and water to 7.3°C.
