Designated as a tourist site on April 10, 1982, Okgye Beach features a clean, wide sandy shore and a pine forest of trees 30 to 40 years old or more. Warm water flowing from nearby Seokbyeongsan into the sea makes it a good summer resort, with a summer capacity of about 20,000 visitors. The Gangwon Province Women's Training Center sits within the pine forest. Next door, Okgye Port is known for strong waves and a beautiful winter sea. Camping is allowed in designated areas beneath the pines, where visitors can enjoy the starry sky, sea breeze and waves overnight.
