BYEONSAN BEACH

This pretty beach is big and clean. That's why it's one of the favourite beaches in the west of the country. Even at low tide it is covered with fine sand, which is quite rare on this coastline. Just on the right, a few rocks where you can isolate yourself, and islets in the bay beyond the oyster beds that make a nice postcard landscape. The beach is lined with pine trees, and there are public showers in season to rinse off after bathing (beware, don't be surprised, Koreans shower there naked).
