Located in Sachon Village in Namhae County, Namhae is known as a treasure island shaped like a butterfly. The beach is 650 m long and 20 m wide, covering about 13,000 m², with shallow 1.5 m depths and a mild water temperature of 25°C that make it popular with families. Pine trees planted over 300 years ago as windbreaks line the shore, and a trail from Eungbong Peak to Seolheulsan lets visitors combine swimming with fishing and hiking. Nearby are a healing farm, Bomulseom Camping Ground in a former elementary school, and Seomi Garden, a European-style garden designated as the first private garden in Gyeongsangnam-do.
