Hwajin Beach is in Songla-myeon, Buk-gu, Pohang. Its sand is 400 m long and 100 m wide, with an average depth of 1.5 m, and it is small but surrounded by many trees and clean water. Two streams flow into the beach, so freshwater bathing is also possible, and the beach season runs from early July to late August. The village association runs a campsite in the pine forest from July to November that allows tents and campers, so visitors can enjoy both swimming and camping. Banana boats, jet skis, and surfing lessons are also available.
