Daejeon Beach is in Daejeon-ri, Duwon-myeon, about 13 km northwest of Goheung-eup. Set on the clean waters of Deukryang Bay, it has a silvery sand shore 1.9 km long and 100 m wide, lined by more than 500 pine trees over 100 years old, and its gentle slope makes it ideal for family outings. Facilities include parking, restrooms, showers, and water taps. Nearby, cliffs carved by wind and waves form striking scenery, and sea anglers visit year-round to catch fish such as grouper and sea bass. Grouper fish porridge (eojuk) is a local specialty.
