Geumjang Beach lies just across a hill from Iggeum Beach, famous for its fine sand. Its pine forest is well preserved, and the forest floor is covered with fine gravel, giving it a distinctive feel. Watching the sunrise over the lush forest, the clear sea and the uninhabited islands dotting the water gives a sense of exotic charm. Being less known than other beaches, it is an ideal place for those who want to avoid crowds.
