Wando Myeongsashimni Auto Camping Site: Stroll Along the Best Beaches of the Southern Coast
Wando Myeongsashimni Auto Camping Site finds its home on Myeongsashimni Beach, located within Sinjido. Known for having the most mineral-rich seawater in the country, Myeongsashimni Beach is not only grand in size but also strikingly beautiful. It has been referred to as “Ulmorae” or “Myeongsashimni,” named after the phenomenon of hearing the sound of sand weeping even ten miles away.
The beach, visited annually by a million vacationers, features a vast silvery white sand beach that stretches 3.8 km in length and 150m in width. Its gentle slope, dense pine forests, parking facilities, shower and changing rooms, and sightseeing paths make it a continual attraction for couples and families. The hot, soft sand bath, particularly heated in the summer sun, is known to be beneficial for seniors suffering from degenerative arthritis and neuralgia. The mineral-rich seawater is renowned for its excellent effects on skin diseases and skin aging prevention.
