Deokheung Beach is located on Naerona-do, an island on the southeast side of the Goheung Peninsula. Centuries-old pine trees on the rock embankment along the shore provide cool shade, and fine sand covers the wide beach. Its gentle slope makes it a popular family destination, and since it is relatively little known, it suits visitors looking for a quiet retreat; it is also called Deokheung Haebyeon. Facilities are well equipped, tents can be pitched in the pine forest, and Mongolian tents can be rented. Gurongsan Mountain is nearby, and the National Youth Space Center and Deokheung Observatory are about a two-minute drive or a 30-minute walk away, making it a good combined trip.
