Anin Beach has many rocky stretches, and the clear freshwater of the Gunseonggang River flows into the sea here, so freshwater bathing is also possible. The water is shallow, and the beach is crowded in peak summer. Rocks cover much of the shore instead of sand, but visitors can dig for clams or fish for rockfish, wrasse, flounder and black porgy. Nearby attractions include Anin-jin Port, the 1996 infiltration site of a North Korean submarine with a security experience trail, Deungmyeong Nakgasa Temple, Deungmyeong Beach, Gyeongpodae, Seongyojang, Gangneung Ojukheon and Jeongdongjin. Boats for year-round sea fishing can be rented at Anin-jin Port, and scuba diving is also available.
