Namyeol Sunrise Beach
8 Lena Kivimäki

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.

Daejeon Beach

What a lovely spot for a tranquil day out with the little ones! Be sure to pack all the necessary gear, but if you time it just right, you'll be rewarded with a bounty of fun activities. Though, it seems Mother Nature had other plans for today's adventure, with a bit of rain to break up the excitement. Hehe, a little break never hurt anyone.

The beach on Geogeum Island in Goheung is fairly small, but the sand is clean and there are pine trees providing shade. I even managed to set up a makeshift table using a nearby tent.
