Deokpo Beach, located in Hadeok Village in Deokpo-dong, is about 450 m long and 40 m wide, with fine sand and a gently sloping shore, making it popular with families with children. Old pine forest surrounds the beach, and the sound of the waves heard from the seating area in the evening is said to be charming. Nearby is Okpo Great Victory Memorial Park, which marks Admiral Yi Sunsin's first victory. The beach also has the Geoje Deokpo Land Sea Line, a zip line over the sea that is Korea's first round-trip ride of its kind, as well as transparent canoe experiences.
