- As Goheung Sin-gi Turtle Village is surrounded in 3 sides by the sea, there
are many beaches nearby. Major beaches include Nam-yeol beach, Dae-jeon beach,
Naro Island beach, Bal-po beach, etc. and there also various other beaches with
beautiful sceneries.
- Nam-yeol Beach It is a beach where the vast white beach of fine sand, a dense
pine forest and the fantastically shaped rocks including the Dragon rock altogether
create magnificent scenery. The waters of the 800m long beach is shallow, being
only 1~2 meters deep, and the beach is well-equipped with convenience facilities
such as parking lot, camping site, toilets, shower booths, inns, restaurants,
etc. However, the only downfall is the high waves caused by the openness of
the sea. Still, as a place not yet widely-known, you can find untainted natural
environment and generosity here.
- Dae-jeon Beach Along with heart-warming generosity of the people of the purely
natural fishery village, the vast open sea, smooth and long-stretching sand
beach, around 500 stumps of pine trees and fantastically-shaped rocks altogether
create magnificent scenery. 50 comfortable lodging tents are set up, and thus
it is a beach where you can enjoy a unique sea-experience trip.
- Naro Island Beach Naro Island Beach has a gentle slope, being only a fathom deep even
when you are 100m into the sea, and the around 300 ancient pines that are 350
years and older create cool shades to help you forget the intense heat. Right
beside the beach is a forest of evergreens selected as the 362nd natural treasure,
and therefore the natural scenery is excellent and the entire island can be
introduced as a rich repository for sea-fishing.
- Bal-po Beach It is a beach located 20km south east from Goheung district. A fine
sand beach of high-quality stretches over 1km with 100m width. It is a Dadohae
National Marine Park area, and spread out on the beach is yellow sand for sand
bathing, which is good for neuralgia and women¡¯s disease. Many family unit
vacationers visit this place because the water is shallow, slope is not steep,
and there are many worth-seeing tour spots nearby. Especially during an ebb
tide, it is possible to dig natural ark shells from the beach, and therefore
you can feel a unique vacation atmosphere. You can also see fantastically-shaped
rocks such as Hwal-gae Rock, Turtle Rock, etc. and the place is acknowledged
as a great place for sea fishing.
