[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Province has selected Goheung Namyeol Sunrise Beach, Wando Myeongsashipri Beach, and Sinan Baekgil Beach as recommended tourist destinations for August.


Goheung Namyeol Sunrise Beach is an ideal spot for family beachgoers due to its shallow water and gentle slope. Additionally, the southeast wind blowing during this season is perfect for surfing.


The thrill of cutting through the incoming waves, combined with the stunning surrounding scenery, makes it a surfing sanctuary that surfing enthusiasts visit consistently. Surfing shops around the beach offer rentals and beginner lessons, allowing even novices to take on the challenge.


The approximately 800-meter sandy beach harmonized with the pine forest evokes admiration from visitors. It is also convenient for beach activities, equipped with various amenities such as a spacious parking lot, campground, drinking fountains, showers, and snack bars.


Wando Myeongsashipri Beach received the Blue Flag international certification in 2019 from the Danish Environmental Education Foundation, recognizing it as a beach meeting safety and eco-friendly standards.


As one of Korea’s representative eco-friendly beaches, Myeongsashipri Beach’s wide white sand and dense Korean red pine forest make it a perfect summer retreat.


Visitors can also participate in marine healing experience programs. These include Nordic walking along the beach, beach Pilates on the sand, making natural soap using shells, and sand therapy, all utilizing marine resources and offered free of charge.


This program runs until the 15th of this month, and participants can register in advance by phone with Wando County or at the Myeongsashipri Beach management office.


Sinan Bungye Beach is famous for its clean sandy beach and the dense Yeoin Pine forest stretching along the coast. The pine trees are so thick that even an adult’s arms cannot encircle them, providing cool shade perfect for taking a break while enjoying the beach.


Moreover, this Yeoin Pine forest holds a legend that it continues the beautiful love of couples, making it a popular attraction for tourists.


Recently, a 5-star Ramada Plaza & Sea One Resort opened near Bungye Beach. It features the largest banquet hall in Jeonnam, a water park, sauna, infinity pool, restaurants, kids caf?, and various other facilities, gaining much popularity since its opening.



Park Yonghak, Director of Tourism, said, “During outdoor activities in the summer vacation season, it is most important to follow safety rules carefully to prevent accidents,” and added, “We hope everyone has a cool and memorable summer vacation at the travel destinations recommended by Jeonnam Province.”
