About

Byeonsan Beach is a representative beach of the west coast. The beach is known for its white sand and fir trees. Also, having opened in 1933, it is the oldest beach in Korea. The fine sandy beach stretches endlessly and the water is clear. Furthermore, the water is only 1 meter deep and warm, making it an ideal beach for playing in the water.
