The story
The beach was opened to visitors in 2004 and became part of the public coastal sequence around the lighthouse and Yeonggeumjeong district.
Behind the signature
Its value comes from proximity. The beach is not isolated; it sits beside the lighthouse climb, sunrise pavilion, port views, and seafood streets.
Local tip
For first-time visitors, pair the beach with a viewpoint. Lighthouse Beach plus the lighthouse-side stairs or deck gives both open sand and elevated city-sea-mountain context, even if the lighthouse interior is closed.
Seasonal note
In summer, operating committees prepare seasonal facilities for beach use. Outside summer, frame it as a windier but quieter walk and photo stop.
For travelers
For international visitors staying near Dongmyeong or Yeongnangho, this is the easiest beach to combine with lighthouse and port culture without crossing the city.
