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.

This beach offers a mesmerizing view of the sunrise on the east coast, especially between the Dadohae Islands. The local youth association runs a shop where you can buy Makgeolli for 2500 won and butane gas for 2000 won, but the prices are quite steep. Be sure to come prepared. Additionally, it is important to dispose of garbage properly using the volume-based waste disposal bag and separate it accordingly. Trash can be a problem on weekends.
