About
Ikgeum Beach lies in the south of Geumsan-myeon on Geogeumdo Island, with a sandy shore 900 m long and 50 m wide. The beach is almost flat with fine sand, and it has modern shower facilities and restrooms. A village near the sand offers homestay (minbak) lodging.
Depending on the time of day, the mudflat appears and then the water returns, so visitors can see both the fine sand and the mudflat. The surrounding scenery is beautiful, and sea fishing can be enjoyed in the clean, unpolluted waters.
