Beaches
Kkotji Beach
Kkotji Beach is located approximately 4km southwest of Seungeon-ri, Anmyeon-eup. Stretching for nearly 5km, it is the second longest beach following Sambong Beach. The sand on the beaches of Anmyeondo Island is all comprised of silica, a precursor to glass, which means that the entire beach is covered with a valuable mineral resource.
Despite the huge difference between the rise and fall of the tide, it is still safe to swim in the area due to the gentle slopes. Thanks to the clear waters and mild water temperature, people can enjoy swimming until late summer. Right next to the beach is Bangpo Port, where you can enjoy fresh raw fish. The Hamibawi and Harabibawi rocks, which have a heart-rending legendary tale associated with them, stand tall as the guardians of the beach.

Mallipo Beach
Mallipo Beach is regarded as one of the top three beaches on the west coast, along with Daecheon and Byeonsan beaches.
The 250m-wide beach stretches for about 3km, and covers an area of 200,000m2.
It is famous for the fine sand, gentle slopes and shallow waters, and this is why it has become a beloved vacation spot by families with young children.
There are many accommodations and recreational facilities nearby, and one can even enjoy fishing from the breakwater in the area. It is also known for the Monument of the Mallipo Love Song by Ban Ya-wol.

Mongsanpo Beach
Mongsanpo Beach is regarded as the “float stone of Taean,” which boasts the largest beach in the East. Connected to Cheongpodae Beach, it is famous as a beach that never ends. The scenic pine forest behind the beach has served as the backdrop of numerous hit movies and dramas. There is an auto camping site and a parking lot nearby, and the Siin Village, Nature Observation Path, and Tidal Flat Experience Site offer a chance for visitors to enjoy other fun experiences besides sunbathing and swimming.
A wide range of artworks made with sand are put on display at the beach in the summer season to delight the vacationers’ eyes.
Sambong Beach
At Sambong Beach, one can observe three towering rocks that are 22m, 20m and 18m tall. These three rocks have an imposing appearance, and collectively, they are described as an enraged lion about to attack its enemy with its tail placed on the sandy hill.
The area was named “Sambong (lit. ‘Three Peaks’)” due to the presence of the three rocks. However, when viewed from the north, it appears as though there are four peaks, and from the south, there seems to be three peaks. The nameless rock is surrounded by a heavy fog created by the tide.
In the distance, one can see clusters of islands that look like dots, while nearby, there is Gaksinyeo, or a female shaman doing a dance. It is near Baeksajang Beach, Anmyeon Beach and Batgae Beach. It is only 1km away from Baeksajang Port, where one can obtain a wide range of fresh fish and seafood.
The vast stretches of sand and the sand dunes created by natural phenomena create breathtaking scenery.

Yeonpo Beach
Located approximately 9km west of Taean, Yeonpo Beach has been developed into a luxury vacation site since 1972.
The beach is known for being shaped like an arrow.
The picturesque scenery of the islands offshore will take your breath away. At Yeonpo Beach, the water temperature is relatively high as it receives warm current, and this is why the beach season is the longest here out of all the beaches in Korea.

Hagampo Beach
Hagampo Beach is famous for the emerald sea, vast beach area, and the rugosa roses.
It was given its name because the rock that gets unveiled at low tide is reminiscent of a crane. The beach is W-shaped, and it surrounds the infamous Hakbawi (Hagam) rock.
Located in the northernmost tip of the Taeanhaean National Park, this area faces a number of islands with unique names such as Daebaengi and Gulttukbaengi.
Around sunset, a breathtaking sight can be witnessed against the backdrop of the sea and the islands, and it is considered one of the best sunset views in Taean. Next to the beach, there is an auto camping site managed by the Taeanhaean National Park Office, offering visitors a chance to stay in the area for extended periods of time so that they can enjoy everything it has to offer, including swimming, sunbathing, tidal flat experience, the beautiful view of the sunset, and fishing. The scenery appears especially majestic in the summertime when the red rugosa roses and violet vitex blossoms are in full bloom.
