Jeongdongjin has three swimming areas: the sea in front of Jeongdongjin Station, the sea in front of Sand Clock Park, and the sea by the Jeongdongjin breakwater. The areas by the station and Sand Clock Park are wide and easy to use, and Sand Clock Park is lit up day and night. To the south lie Sunrise Sculpture Park and Heonhwaro. Visitors often gather clams, mussels, seaweed, and sea urchins from the rocks near the station. Said to be the station closest to the sea in the world, it draws many visitors to watch the sunrise, and since the sunrise tourist train began in 1997, it has been crowded throughout the year.
