Gimnyeong beach

Gimnyeong is a beach in the north of Jeju island, South Korea. White sand and black lava rocks look spectacular, but it is hard to swim in the shallow water. The beach is well maintained, and there are lifeguards on duty during the high season. Wind power stations can be seen aside, so one can understand that a strong wind often blows here. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
