Wonpyeong Beach is a 4.3 km stretch of fine white sand, also called Myeongsa Sipri because the sand is said to run about 10 ri. The sand is soft, and it is firm enough that footprints do not remain when you walk on it. Behind the beach lies a pine forest with walking trails, and a marine rail bike runs past it. The beach is popular with families for auto camping and water play, and it is also known as a sunrise spot. The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries selected it as one of the 50 quiet beaches in Korea.
