Located next to Daejin Port, the northernmost port on the East Coast, this beach is known for fresh raw fish caught offshore. The beach is 350 m long and about 10,578 m² (around 3,200 pyeong), with fine white sand, clear water and an average depth of 1.3 m. A smaller beach about 150 m long and 4,628 m² lies to the south at Daejin 5-ri; since both are in a military protected zone, they open during the beach season in coordination with the local military unit. Daejin Lighthouse stands on the small hill below the beach and serves as a signal for passing boats, and the two beaches draw many visitors on the way to the Goseong Unification Observatory.
