About this place

An open beach in Goheung, where a broad sandy shore meets sunrise views and rolling waves.

Namyeol faces the open sea on the Goheung Peninsula. Its sandy beach and pine grove make a scenic setting for a coastal walk, while the waves attract surfers. The headland and nearby space launch observatory add a distinctive outline to the shoreline.

Follow the southern coast through forested islands, waterfront paths, cliffside temples and cities shaped by the sea.
