In particular, Namhae-gun plans to designate separate areas for dogs at all beaches during this opening period.

Amid growing debates over bringing dogs to beaches, the Namhae-gun Beach Council has proactively proposed this solution in line with changing times. This decision differentiates itself from other regions that generally prohibit dogs from entering beaches.

Various cultural programs will also continue throughout the beach opening period.

At Sangju Eunmorae Beach, busking performances will be held on July 31st and August 1st, a ‘K Ssireum Promotion and Residents’ Ssireum Competition’ will take place over two days on August 4th and 5th, and small concerts are scheduled for August 11th and 14th.

Additionally, a relay busking event is planned for August 19th at Songjeong Solbaram Beach.

Namhae-gun completed environmental improvement measures including repairs of aging facilities and beach maintenance before the opening to ensure a successful 2023 beach season, and on the 6th, conducted a joint safety training session with Sacheon Coast Guard for lifeguards.

A Namhae-gun official stated, “We have made every effort to secure safety and maintain convenience facilities so that visitors to Namhae-gun beaches can enjoy a more pleasant and refreshing vacation than ever before,” adding, “We hope visitors enjoy the beaches and also take in the beautiful scenery spread throughout Namhae-gun to create even better memories.”
