Sampo Beach, a summer resort with clean white sand and a dense pine forest, opened in 1977 and was developed as a national tourist site in May 1980. The water is shallow and the sand has seaweed growing on it, and the wide, quiet beach surrounded by pine forest suits families. Across from the beach lie Heukdo, Baekdo and Homisom islands, which are also popular sea fishing spots.
