Yeocha Pebble Beach is in Yeocha-ri, Nambu-myeon, on the southern coast of Geoje Island. The beach is 700 m long and 30 m wide, with black pebbles, a small harbor, clear water and islands offshore. It gained fame after a tourist road was built along Cheonjangsan in 1981 under the Saemaeul project, and it was a filming location for the film 'Ginkgo Bed'. Where warm and cold currents meet, fish are plentiful, so anglers visit year-round. Nearby attractions include Garasan Beacon Tower, Dadaesanseong Fortress, Daepodo, Hyeongjedo, Ssangchotdae Rock and Ssangnyong Cave.
