The beach is peaceful and not too crowded, making it a great place to relax. You can also explore the mudflats and take a dip in the sea.

2 Very poor

According to Naver, admission is stated as free, but in reality, there is a 3,000 won entrance fee due to it being a private property. Unfortunately, the beach is quite dirty, which has left me with no desire to return. Instead, I would prefer to travel to Gyeokpo or Byeonsan, even if it means going a bit further.

Although you can enjoy playing in the water, please note that the beach is currently closed. Additionally, there are campsites available in the pine field, but they come with a charge.
