Jeungsan Beach is a quiet, cozy beach about 4 km from central Samcheok, with an average depth of about 1 m that allows safe water play. It sits next to Chuam Candle Rock in Donghae, famous for sunrises, and the nearby Suro Buin Park (Haesa Site) has a 'dragon ball' sculpture based on the Haega legend in the Samguk Yusa, which visitors spin while making wishes. In winter, visitors can enjoy the romance of a winter sea with seagulls. Although it has fewer crowds than other beaches, it is known as a car-camping spot, and many families come to see its emerald-blue sea. People say that anyone who visits once comes back again.
