The beach on Geogeum Island in Goheung is fairly small, but the sand is clean and there are pine trees providing shade. I even managed to set up a makeshift table using a nearby tent.

I would have loved to visit this beach, but unfortunately, work got in the way. It's a shame that the current situation with the pandemic prevented me from going. However, it's worth noting that the beach offers free public entry, which is a great perk for visitors.
