I enjoyed a tasty raw fish dish at this beach. As a bonus, they served us mackerel sashimi. However, it was a bit warm inside.

I went to the beach by Daewangam and had the wild raw fish rice bowl and raw fish, both of which were incredibly tasty and flavorful. The restaurant has a welcoming and cozy vibe, so I definitely plan on returning in the future.

You have the option to enjoy freshly caught raw fish at this beach. The scenery is nice, but washing up might be a bit of a hassle while you're there.

The ocean view from the restaurant was lovely, and the attentive service from the female owner was pleasant. It seems like the business is doing well, but I can't help but wonder when the coronavirus pandemic will come to an end.
