Sagot Sabin on Baengnyeong-do is a unique coastal landform formed along the southwestern and southeastern shores near Yonggi Port. It looks like a sandy beach but is actually a sabin (sand beach) formed from a thick layer of quartzite powder. At low tide, a vast sabin about 2 km long and 200 m wide is exposed, and the firm ground has even been used as a road, and military transport aircraft have landed and taken off on it. It is one of only two such rare geological formations in the world, the other being Naples, Italy, and was designated a natural monument in 1997. Civilian access was restricted as a military control zone until early 1989, and it is now used only as a beach and summer resort.
