I visited Gosapo beach during the winter and was pleasantly surprised by the sunny weather, making it perfect for a stroll. I appreciated the beach's size, as it wasn't too large or too small. I noticed a great campsite nearby and made a mental note to return during the summer. It was also my first time seeing the sea covered in snow.

The beach is amazing in terms of its facilities, size, and scenery. I would give it a perfect score. However, there are some negative reviews posted by Naver users, but it's suspected that there may be a hidden agenda behind them. Also, there are plenty of food options available, so you can eat to your heart's content. Overall, I highly recommend making a reservation here for a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

It's perfect for clam catching, and even at low tide, the gentle waters make it a safe spot. Additionally, the beach is ideal for summer camping amidst the serene pine forests.

The beach is quite spacious and boasts golden sand. I'm eagerly anticipating crystal-clear water. As the beach is situated on the West Sea, it's an ideal spot for clam catching. But what sets this beach apart is its breathtaking sunset. The pine forest here is larger and more extensive than any other beach I've visited. It's perfect for either camping or simply unwinding. However, do note that there is a fee for camping during the peak summer season. It's worth mentioning that each district along the beach is privately owned, which means that the owners vary. Amenities such as a shop, toilets, and showers are available. However, cleanliness may be an issue when the beach gets crowded. Nonetheless, the sunset at this beach is truly stunning!
