1. Minmeoru Beach 민머루해변
Minmeoru Beach is the only beach on Seongmodo Island, a small island to the west of Ganghwado Island. Visitors can enjoy sea-bathing on the vast stretch of sandy beach and watch beautiful sunsets over the West Sea. When the tide goes out, a foreshore of approximately one kilometer in length appears. The foreshore is very smooth and is home to marine life including clams, crabs, and more. The sunset here is really beautiful which makes many photographers come to this place for the sunset and you can also try to catch the clams (tidal flat experience) here when the mud flat emerges.

2. ATV
Another fun thing to do if you go to the beach is : riding the ATV (All-terrain vehicle)! For those who do not know ATV, ATV is a vehicle that travels on low-pressure tires, with a seat that is straddled by the operator, along with handlebars for steering control. Do not worry if you have no idea how to ride it because there will be a guider who will teach you how to ride it and when you are ready to ride it on the beach a guider will also come along with you.
