Located in Dongdeok-ri, Yeongok-myeon, the beach has a 700 m long, 56,000 m² sandy shore and a wide pine grove that makes it ideal for camping. The pine grove covers 13,220 m² and can accommodate up to 881 tents per day, and a small parking area holds about 40 cars. The nearby Sogeumgang valley, praised by the scholar Yulgok Yi I, lets visitors combine hiking with swimming. Along Yeongokcheon Stream, local eateries serve spicy kkujeogu-tang, native chicken, and buckwheat noodles.
