Dongsanpo Beach is located in Dongsan-ri, Hyeonnam-myeon, Yangyang County, right along Route 7 for easy access. The water stays about knee-deep even 15 m from shore, making it suitable for children. The area was recently refurbished with cleaner rest facilities, and the barbed-wire fence along the coast was removed to open up the sea view. Jodo Island is visible from the beach and looks dramatic at sunrise. The water is clean and clear, and the nearby rocks make it a known spot for scuba diving.
