The water level is 1-2 meters and the water temperature is approximately 22 degrees Celsius. The surrounding pine forest is lush and beautiful. In particular, there is a fishing spot with a large rock formation in front of the beach. For one to two days each month, there is a phenomenon known as "Moses' Miracle," where the tides subside and reveal a 1.5-kilometer-long path in the middle of the sea. This mysterious sea road was thought to only appear during summer, however it was later revealed that it actually occurs every lunar month. In 1996, the beach was open to the general public.

The red lighthouse towering at the end of the long breakwater is as impressive as a picture. The pretty pensions right in front of the sandy beach add to the scenery. Also, Daecheonhang Port is a 20 minutes drive away, and there visitors can enjoy fresh seafood and grilled shellfish at an affordable price.
