Late summer and early autumn are especially good seasons to find the sea. The heat in the middle of the day is dampened, and the cool wind blows in the evening, making it suitable for a walk. Instead of the congestion of famous beaches, I will introduce five quiet beach spots where you can enjoy your own time.
Cheongseokpo Beach in Yeosu, South Jeolla Province
Cheongseokpo Beach, located in Gaedo Island off the coast of Yeosu, has a calm charm with few tourists. Pebbles and emerald waves along the beach make you feel at ease just by looking at them. There are few commercial facilities around, so you can fully feel the nature, and the sea that turns red at sunset is a spectacular sight to remember. It is not complicated even in summer, so it is perfect for family trips or healing destinations alone.
Unyeo Beach in Taean, South Chungcheong Province
Unyeo Beach, called the hidden gem of the west coast, is characterized by long white sand and calm waves. It is quiet enough to hear only the sound of waves and wind even in the middle of the day, and the sunset, which turns red at sunset, is as ecstatic as the scenery in a picture postcard. After enjoying the water at nearby Jangsampo Beach, the satisfaction level is even higher when you finish the day with a course where you can enjoy the sunset on the Unyeo Beach.
Oedal Beach in Donghae, Gangwon Province
Eodal Beach, which is relatively quiet on the east coast, is famous for its sunrise spots. Looking at the sea in the early morning, you can feel the peace as if you were holding the entire sea alone. The trail is good for walking with calm waves, and it is a special memory to enjoy the sunrise after one night at the sea view pension. Even during the peak summer season, it is not relatively crowded, so it is good to spend a quiet time with lovers or family.
Wuzhen Beach in Sinan, South Jeolla Province
Located in Jeungdo Island, designated as the first slow city in Asia, Wuzhen Beach adds charm with its unique exotic scenery. The beach lined with straw parasols makes you feel like you are at a resort in South Korea, and the sunset spreading over the sea at sunset creates an admiration. You can experience the tidal flats revealed at low tide, and if you look around the nearby Taepyeong Salt Farm and Salt Museum together, your trip will become more colorful.
Gusipo Beach in Gochang, North Jeolla Province
Gusipo Beach, a combination of vast West Sea mudflats and soft sandy beaches, has well-preserved natural scenery. You can experience the marine ecosystem directly on the tidal flats revealed at low tide, and you can take a leisurely walk on the wide sandy beach at high tide. There are few commercial facilities, so it maintains calmness, and the charm of the West Sea is at its peak, especially at sunset.
Instead of fancy facilities or fame, hidden beaches present the comfort and true rest of nature. In places that are still less well known, such as Cheongseokpo in Yeosu, Unyeo Beach in Taean, Eodal Beach in the East Sea, Wuzhen in Sinan, and Gusipo in Gochang, the calm of the sea fully covers me.
The moment you listen to the sound of the waves and look at the sky colored by the sunset feels more valuable when you stand on a quiet beach away from your busy daily life. Instead of a busy crowd, why don't you go to a hidden beach with the calm waves.
