Yongdong Beach is located in Dodeok-myeon, Goheung County, Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City. Though small, it has a quiet charm, with dense pine forest and cool sea breezes creating a cozy atmosphere. It has ample parking and facilities including restrooms, showers, and water supply points. Anglers gather on weekends to catch hakkkongchi, munjeori, and bildom, and a water play area in nearby Goheung Bay makes it a popular family summer destination. Nearby attractions include the Deukryangman Sea Fishing Park and the Bibong-ri Dinosaur Egg Fossil Site in Boseong.
