Donmok Beach is the largest beach on Uido island, with clear water and fine, firm white sand. Its seabed slopes gently, and because the beach sits inside a bay, the waves are mild. At the far end of the beach is a striking sand dune about 80 m high, with a steep slope of roughly 32–33 degrees, formed when tidal currents deposited sediment and northwest winds blew it upward. Because visitors climbing the dune caused sand to slide down and lower it, public access is now prohibited to prevent further damage. Streams from the forest flow across the beach in small channels, allowing small-scale freshwater bathing.
