Simok Beach, in Docho-myeon, Sinan County, is a semicircular sweep of sand within Dadohaesang National Park. Its water is clear as crystal, and the name comes from the many persimmon trees nearby. Surrounded by mountains and sea on three sides, it has a gentle slope and is considered safe. The 2.5 km sand stretch is dotted with sandcastles, and the offshore rock Nonggan-am appears to move on cloudy days. The beach also has a youth campground of about 33,058 m² (10,000 pyeong).
