[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Jeonnam Sinan-gun (Governor Park Woo-ryang) announced on the 18th that two locations, Jungdo Jjangttungeo Beach and Imja Daegwang Beach, were selected among 50 quiet beaches announced by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries.

The quiet beach policy was proposed in 2020 to alleviate crowding at beaches for infection prevention amid the prolonged COVID-19 situation. It aims to select quiet beaches where social distancing can be maintained, fostering a culture where families, friends, and couples can safely enjoy the beach.

Jungdo Jjangttungeo Beach is also famous as a place where visitors can walk along the beautiful pine forest and the Jungdo specialty, Jjangttungeo Bridge, while observing various tidal flat creatures.

Imja Daegwang Beach recently received the 'Blue Flag International Beach' certification from the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) in Denmark, awarded to eco-friendly and safe beaches. Along with this selection, expectations have risen for it to be recognized as a safe summer destination.

The selected quiet beaches will receive various promotional content such as postings on the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries website, flyers, and videos, providing an opportunity to introduce lesser-known small beaches nationwide.

Governor Park Woo-ryang said, “Sinan-gun not only has the two selected beaches but also possesses natural resources where forests and the sea harmonize. We hope many family travelers visit to create joyful memories and that everyone follows quarantine rules such as social distancing to have a safe summer.”
