Geumgap Beach has a sandy shore about 500 m long. It is small and not widely known, but its cozy atmosphere, gentle slope, fine sand and clear water make it good for families with young children. The clean, fish-rich sea is good for sea fishing anywhere along the coast, and clams can be gathered at low tide. The recently built Jeopdo Wellbeing Hiking Trail offers views of the sea on all sides. Nearby are Geumgap Yeondaebong Forest Trail, Jukrim Fishing Village Experience Village, Jeopdo, Ssolbichi and Yeogwisan.
