Our final destination with K Shuttle was Gyeongpodae beach. Located 1 km away from Gyeongpodae, Gyeongpo Beach is a sand bank formed between Gyeongpo Lake and the ocean. This beautiful beach extends to a length of 6 km and is covered with fine sand. It is a very well-known tourist attraction within Korea: a flawless combination of nature and cultural relics.
Gyeongpo Beach is famous for its picturesque sunrise and tranquil moonrise. There are other nearby attractions in the area, like the pine forest (4 km) and wild roses, which grow in various areas around the beach. Those who enjoy ocean fishing can take a boat to the mall rocks just off the beach. There is an endless line of tourists.
No day would be complete without a cycle out to Gyeongpo Beach (경 포 대). Voted in the top three beaches of the Korean Peninsula, the beach and lake combined are simply fantastic. It is said that you can see the moon five times here, in the sky, the sea, the lake, in your glass, and in the eyes of your lover. Romantic as Koreans are, Gyeongpo Beach has become the place to go for love. It is famous countrywide for its blossoms, when the entire lake is surrounded by pink.
All the way around its 5km promenade you can find places to relax, enjoy strange sculptures depicting the life of Hong Gil-Dong (the Korean Robin Hood), hire bikes and 4-wheeled contraptions, and photograph the enormous amount of bird-life that inhabits the lake and adjoining marshy wildlife reserve and migratory bird sanctuary. Everything goes crazy in the Summer months when the beach is invaded by guys and girls from Seoul, with a plan to use the beach as a catwalk. It officially ‘opens’ on July 1st, which basically means that the beach is full of umbrellas, basketball courts, fireworks, with showers etc, but the sea is closed. Lifeguards sit at 50meter intervals to stop anyone getting too wet.
safety doesn’t quite describe it. But if you want to get a jet-ski, powerboat, banana boat, or a big yellow rubber dingy, -the sea is yours! Come to Gyeongpo Beach in the early summer or autumn when it’s not busy, unless you like it that way. Jumunjin Beach is a good alternative for a calm spot.
It was really awesome to enjoy on the sand with
the blue water touching feet. There were of a number of tourists enjoying their
best moments with their partners. We had a real fun. After that it was time to
come back home, although I never like but we have to reach Seoul before 9PM. So
soon after the visit finish we take our way back Seoul.
