Dongmak Beach

Dongmak Beach is considered one of the five major tidal flats in the world, making it an ideal spot for tidal flat experiences. Surrounded by white sand and a dense pine forest, it has striking natural scenery. At high tide visitors can swim, and at low tide the endless mudflats reveal fiddler crabs, gamurak clams, rice-pattern whelks, and ragworms. A coastal walking trail, the Jeoeosae Boreo Ganeun Gil (Trail to See the Spoonbills), runs along one side of the beach. The Ganghwa tidal flats and the breeding ground of the black-faced spoonbill, a globally endangered species, have been designated a natural monument.
