About
Namyeol Haedoji Beach is known for its beautiful sunrise, and a New Year's Day sunrise event is held here every January 1. Its fine sand and pine forest attract visitors of all ages in every season, and its high waves make it the only well-known surfing spot in the southern region, drawing surfers from across the country. The 700 m beach has fine sand and clear water, but the waves can be strong, so caution is advised. About 250 black pines, 30 to 40 years old, form a forest behind the beach, and parking, camping grounds, restrooms, and showers are available. (Source: Goheung County Culture and Tourism website)
