Although it may not have the typical beach vibe due to the winter season, CYC is a lovely small beach with golden sand.

I apologize for the unsightly construction that mars the beauty of this beach. It is a shame that the local government did not take better care of this natural environment.

It has been quite some time since my last visit to the beach, and I must say that the transformation is remarkable. The amenities and surroundings have undergone significant improvements, and it appears that the quality of the beach is only getting better. The quarantine measures in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic are also quite stringent, ensuring the safety of all visitors. Although not many, I did observe a few individuals indulging in a refreshing swim in the sea. All in all, my trip down memory lane was a delightful experience.

Located adjacent to the Chaeseokgang River, Gyeokpo Beach is an ideal spot to witness the mesmerizing sunset. The nearby eateries offer delectable food options, however, the prices may leave you astounded. To relish the local cuisine at reasonable rates, it is suggested to explore the nearby market and indulge in the delicacies.
