Gusipo Beach is the largest beach in Gochang County, with a long, wide shoreline backed by dense pine forest. Its gentle slope makes it well suited to families. At the south end of the sand is a natural cave where dozens of residents and hundreds of wood pigeons are said to have sheltered for half a year during the Jeongyujaeran War, and rock formations line the coast. Offshore islands, including Gamakdo, lie in the sea, and at sunset the Chilsan Sea turns red. The beach is popular for auto camping and has good amenities.
