Seopo-ri Beach, on the south side of Deokjeok Island, is a representative beach of the West Sea. Designated a national tourist site, it is surrounded on all sides by century-old pines forming a thick grove, and has a gentle slope and a white-sand shore about 300 m wide and 3 km long. Over 100,000 visitors rest here each year, and it fills with holidaymakers in summer. Its rocky reefs are popular with sea anglers, where rockfish and greenling are easily caught, and the beach also has a playground, tennis courts, restaurants, karaoke, and bicycle rentals. Behind the beach, the Seopo-ri Forest Bathing Area lets visitors enjoy both forest bathing and swimming.
