A quiet beach with half pebble and half white sand. If Gangdong is busy, wouldn't it be an alternative? A suitable place to feel the sea in connection with the surrounding Yangnam columnar joints

Beach with a camping site Coarse stones and small pebbles are mixed together. There is a lot of sand on the wave side... Rather than playing in the water Great place for camping or fishing and watching the sunrise The west side is centered on the road The beach and campsite are separated. This is centered around the walking path of Haeparang-gil. The beach and camping site are separated. Although there are auxiliary facilities It feels old and worn out It would be a good place for camping If not, just stop by and look around. If you go down a little bit from here There is a border between Gyeongju and Ulsan.

Natural large pine trees match the blue sea, and you can feel the fresh ozone in your heart, as if the wind shakes the pine branches and plays the sound of the wind... sss . The sunlight hitting the sea is like a beautiful jewel.
