Silver sand beach is located in Namhea Island, part t of Gyeonsangnam - do. Situated in Sangju-myeon, a well-known for leisure sports like sea rafting and kayaking and sea activities like the traditional way of fishing on a boat. This is the most famous beach in Namhae. A splendid with the two kilometer-long pine tree grove surrounding the sandy beach in a crescent moon shape. And because of it's gentle waves, the beach is ideal for sea bathing. It is also famous for camping.
In continuation of our 4 days wondering around Gyeongsangnam -do, arriving in Dumo village our 6th destination for day one. We've learned that the place is well-known for leisure sports like sea rafting and kayaking and sea activities like the traditional fishing on a boat, but this day was so peaceful and quiet.
What I really love about Namhea is it's countryside atmosphere yet modernized. They kept the tradition and took care and kept the nature untouched yet living the modern days. That is one thing so undeniably noticeable about this beautiful Island.
I am a fond of structures and I truly admired whoever is behind this awesome design container building. I wanted to go up there but, it was closed. I went inside of the first floor which supposed to serve as tourism office and got maps. I even had a nice chat and a cup of free coffee from the wonderful people inside.
Everything around was amazing, but this is my favorite one. A musical monument that constantly plays a classic 1975 songs. Something visitors would never missed cause it is located right in the middle of the way.
To get to the beach which is just a few steps away from the parking lot. You will experience some kind of fantasy entering this magical forest mood. But wait, I guess I am just too much of an imaginative person, LOL! But I guess not, because Immo agreed with me.
That is the nice and very clean shower room over there. Beautifully painted that added beauty to the natural landscape. I have not used it so I am not sure if it is free of charge. But in most cases, some Korean public shower rooms do not charge and if they do, it usually cost 3,000 won. (less than $3 dollars)
I definitely enjoyed the breeze of the wind with these tall and huge pine groves. Something new to me because I am used of seeing such trees in the mountain or streams and regular soiled land but not on a sand specially on a beach. What's amazing about these pine trees were they are really flaunting their beauties like as if they are growing like coconut trees.
The shop was closed and it looks like it was having a nice nap during day time.. I just couldn't imagine how busy it was during summer. June, July and August.
The restroom therefore is always open and clean. One thing about Korean public restroom is always clean and it has toilet paper as well. And unlike other countries, Korea never charge public toilets. I thought my country only does it but, some Asian countries I've traveled does it too.
My family travel buddies were more interested on the beach view while I wanna know more about the place. They were tolerable of me disappearing out of their sight and appearing with a huge smile, information and a happy photo gallery Ha! ha! ha!
No words can describe how beautiful the beach is, it is indeed a jaw dropping scenery. We enjoyed taking groupies and walked around the beach.. Watch the video to see a clip of the whole crescent moon shaped silver sand beach.
We were there in the early September which is autumn so the beach was kind of finally resting from the beach goers and campers. But we've seen some tour bus bringing some tourist for a tour.
Sangju Silver sand Beach is busy all year round, and it is most popular during summer. Many athletes comes here for physical training in the winter, school program camping in the spring and fall. And so as the local tourist and many tourist from all over the world. It was indeed a fantastic visit and we continued our journey to the beautiful Gacheon village.
