Wahyeon Sand Forest Beach, between Gujora and Jiseopo in Geoje, has fine sand, clear water, and calm waves, drawing many summer visitors. Rebuilt after Typhoon Maemi devastated it in 2003, the beach now has wider sand, about 510 m long, with gentle slopes, shallow water, and facilities including a waterfront park. In summer, colorful parasols and tents line the sand, and the sheltered shape of the bay makes it safe for families. Maemi Park lies by the beach, Haegeumgang and Oedo can be seen near the horizon, and a sightseeing boat pier is beside it. A monument marks the spot where Seobul, sent by the First Emperor of Qin to seek the elixir of immortality, is said to have stayed.
