Pungryu Beach is reached by heading northwest from Goheung-eup on Provincial Road 851, turning at the bamboo grove junction in Hakrim Village, and continuing past the Goheung Bay seawall. The beach is about 500 m long and 50 m wide, with wide, clean sand, gentle waves, and shallow water that suit children, and its gentle slope opens up clam digging at low tide. Though small, pine and evergreen trees line the shore and provide shade, and picnic platforms make it popular for car camping. It is also one of the few beaches where cooking is allowed.
