Mangsang Beach is a national tourist site about 3 km north of Mukho Port. Together with nearby Okgye and Gyeongpo, it is a well-known tourist destination on the East Coast. The beach has shallow water, clean seawater, a wide sandy shore and dense pine forest, and it is ranked as the East Coast's top beach. Hotels, the Mangsang Auto Camping Resort and other facilities have made it a year-round destination. Nearby is the Okgye Naval Battle Memorial, which commemorates clashes with North Korean forces during the Korean War and the achievements of the Korean military.
