Gagye Beach lies beside the Jindo Sea Road, known as a modern-day miracle of Moses, where the sea water parts. Facing the Dadohae archipelago, its wide white sand beach is about 3 km long. Transportation is convenient, with a large parking lot, showers, and water fountains, so many visitors arrive by car. Sculptures along the beach are popular photo spots, and pines and grass along the shore provide shade, with a green and blue scenery. Visitors can also enjoy sea fishing from reefs, the pier, and an uninhabited island for black sea bream, flounder, sea bass, mullet, eel, and sillago. Nearby attractions include the Jindo Marine Ecology Center, the Jindo Sea Road, and Geumhodo.
