About
Ingu beach is located in Ingu-ri, Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do. With Jukdo, an island with a thickly wooded bamboo forest, in the middle, Jukdo Beach lies to the north and Ingu Beach to the south. Thanks to its vast and quiet white sandy beach and shallow depths, the beach is safe to enjoy sea bathing, which is why families visit the beach during the summer vacation period. The shallow water also attracts many novice surfers. The beach is equipped with nice facilities for surfers along with accommodations and surfing shops. Avid campers can also set up tents on the beach to enjoy surfing and camping at the same time. In recent years, the beach has become a popular scuba diving spot as well. Ever since the coastal road opened, cafes, restaurants, and various convenience facilities have popped up in the area. Visitors can check out Jukdojeong Observatory, Ingu Port, and many other things to see nearby, and also experience sea fishing at Dongsan Port.
