Baeksajang Beach (백사장해수욕장)


Baeksajangpogu Port is located just 4km southwest of Anmyeondo Bridge, the bridge connecting the mainland with the island. Near the port is a white sand beach called Baeksajang. At Baeksajang Beach, the shimmering white sand stretches endlessly and the ebbing tide creates a different view of the horizon. Though the water level has a large tidal range, the beach's moderate water temperature make it a safe and enjoyable place to take a dip in even until late summer. 

The beach is 1.2km long and 300m wide and is made up of fine silica sand. Just around the corner is Sambong Beach. Baeksajang Beach is one of the major sources of jumbo shrimps and during autumn, crowds come to enjoy the taste of fresh jumbo shrimps. The beach even holds a prawn festival every fall when jumbo shrimp production peaks.
