Maengbang Beach is a pilot beach about 7 km from central Samcheok, located within the Maengbang tourist complex. Its roads and infrastructure are well maintained, tourism development work is underway, and its clean shore is well known across the country. During the swimming season it hosts events such as the Myeongsasipri running race and bare-handed trout catching. A nearby golf practice range also serves as a hub for sports.
