About
Located at the mouth of the Daejong River, east of downtown Gyeongju, Bonggil Beach has a sandy shore 500 m long and 40 m wide. It draws fewer visitors than other East Coast beaches, making it a good choice for a relaxed holiday. In summer, beach bungalows, tube rentals, and simple eateries serve visitors. Offshore lies Daewangam, the sea tomb of King Munmuwang, who asked in his will to be cremated and laid to rest in the East Sea so he could guard the kingdom as a dragon.
