Gosapo Beach
Jeollabuk-do(Buan-gun)

Gosapo Beach commands a magnificent scenic view, thanks to the songnim (pine forest) planted along the beach as a windbreaker. During the summer season, visitors can set up their tents among the pine trees and look out onto the beach from their tents. Less well-known than Byeonsan Beach, Gosapo Beach offers a more quiet summer vacation. The cookhouse, bathhouse, and restrooms are clean and bright. For three days before or after the 1st and the 15th day in the lunar calendar, the sea seems to part, creating a path from Gosapo Beach to Haseom Island. Here, visitors can experience a natural phenomenon similar to the “Moses Miracle.”
