About

Located in Sacheon and home to the huge Elephant Rock that resembles an elephant drinking water, Namildae Beach is a popular vacation spot all year round thanks to its clean water and soft sand. The thick surrounding forests and Jinneol Observation Deck, as well as many fishing spots, add to its popularity. During the summer season, there is a singing competition and film festival. Vacationers can also visit Changseon-Samcheonpo Bridge, the biggest bridge in Asia, and see Hallyeohaesang National Park on a ferry cruise.
