Gaenmaeul Beach is popular with visitors seeking a quiet beach, as the water is shallow and crowds are light. It suits children playing with tubes and beach balls, and the shellfish and fish near the shore add to the fun. Digging a little into the sand reveals clams, which can be cooked for dinner.
