    If I could rated zero, I would! The life guards at 4:00pm told everyone to get out of the water even though the water was calm. It’s like they can’t do their job, like saving people! How are you going to advertise the beach for jeju tourism and say you can’t go in. I went to another beach and they also told us we couldn’t go in. Is it because we are not native to Korea, is that why they are discriminating? We couldn’t even put our feet in. I put some photos and videos to show you how calm the water was. For sure these life guards don’t even know how to swim which is their job.

    Super clean white sand beach in early morning. The different areas of the beach offers water at different temperatures and textured sand. The bright green seaweed is unique. swimming is fun and the facilities nearby are great. One of my favourite beaches in South Korea.

    Pretty coastal walk. A lot of people canoning and snorkeling. Free outdoors pool area separated by males and females. There are free roofted chairs/tables where you can sit and enjoy the view. I swam in the area where there were a lot of kids, water was clear, not deep, and soft waves. Sand not as soft/fine as Hyeopjae Beach but if I lived here, I would probably come here a lot with friends/family. 🥰 Good day

    Beautiful beach with white sand and blue water. Great place to take photos. Nice black volcanic rock. Very family friendly. There are bathrooms and an open air changing area for men and another one for women. Amazing place to watch the sunset. There are a few cafés around if you are hungry and want to buy something to eat.

    Love it, got coastal road near by. Pretty sunset too and some cafe to sit by to look at the sunset. The sand also so white and there is washroom nearby. A lot of coffee place too. Will repeat here again when it less windy and when the weather is fine. The beach so pretty.

    Colourful contrast with the white sand, turquoise ocean and black volcanic rocks. Gets busy but most of the beach covered with plastic sheeting - am guessing to limit the amount of sand being swept away.

    Local beach with choppy fun waves! I never been to a beach having so many kids and lilo, quite packed. But the wave was so fun and the water is so clear. Western restaurants are all very tasty. It’s hard to order at the local restaurants if you don’t speak Korean. There’s a big cheaper mart on the back of the main road. Everything is there. Handy. Worth to stay a couple of days.

    When paddle boarding here, but it was nice to collect seashells and just walk in the ocean for a bit. Super clear water

    It's quite ok. There is pretty good free parking and some interesting walks. The beach is big. There are no waves though. Good for families.
