Jungnim Beach is a sand beach about 540 m long and 30 m wide, located in Jungnim Village 2 km west of Geojemyeon on Geoje Island. It was created artificially in 1980 using sand from the Seomjin River in Hadong, built for Daewoo Shipbuilding employees. Because it is man-made and little known, it remains relatively quiet, and it is also known as Oso Beach. It opens every year from mid-July to late August. Jungnim Village was where the Geoje-bu fishing office guarded the Geojeman bay during the Joseon period, and it still has many bamboo groves. Nearby sights include the scenic Haegeumgang and Gucheon Valley, cultural sites such as Geoje Hyanggyo, and Nojasan Natural Recreation Forest.
