Additionally, an administrative comprehensive situation room is being operated to ensure visitors can enjoy the beach safely. Eight safety management personnel are stationed on the beach, and patrols will be conducted regularly using jet skis and rubber boats.

Dongho Beach is famous for its long stretch of white sand. The sandy beach extends over 4 km, with fine sand and a gentle slope, attracting many vacationers during the summer season.

Behind the white sand beach lies a centuries-old pine forest, creating a magnificent view. The shade provided by the pine trees offers a cool breeze even in midsummer, making it a great place to relax.

Gushipo Beach, located in Jarong-ri, Sanghamyeon, features a beautiful 1.7 km-long white sand beach and dense pine groves. About 1 km in front of the beach lies Gamakdo, one of the nation's top sea fishing spots, along with numerous scattered islands. The sunset unfolding behind these islands is truly spectacular.

County Governor Shim Deok-seop said, "We will do our best to ensure that visitors have no inconvenience while using the beach and that not a single water-related safety accident occurs."
