Latest reviews on Namwon's beaches

Mijo-myeon Beach

Wow....the beach is not well-maintained. There is a well-preserved wasp nest, but it seems to be ignored, resulting in bees constantly entering if the door is left open. Additionally, centipedes tend to appear in the bathroom of the guest room, giving the impression that the room has not been properly cleaned. The barbecue area and outdoor cafe also show signs of neglect.

This place is amazing! I tried windsurfing for the first time today and it was a blast. I've been to Yeosoo several times before, but I had never heard of this beach until someone I know recommended it to me. I'm so glad I came here - it's definitely worth a visit. The facilities are well-equipped with toilets and showers, and they offer free rentals for paddleboards, windsurfing gear, kayaks, and snorkeling equipment. Just make sure to book your visit ahead of time if you want to use any of the rides.
