Goraebul Beach stretches about 20 ri (roughly 8 km) across six coastal villages in Byeonggok-myeon, Yeongdeok-gun. Legend says the Goryeo-era scholar Mokeun Yi Saek named it 'Goraebul' after seeing whales playing offshore. Its golden sand is coarse and does not stick to the body, and it is said to benefit heart and circulatory conditions. The shallow, emerald water and shady pine forest make it a good family resort, and Goraebul National Campground has caravan and camping sites and a children's water play area. The scenic coastal drive north along National Route 7 passes most of the East Coast's main attractions.
