Kkotji Beach

Chungcheongnam-do


Of the many beaches on Anmyeondo, one of the best is Kkotji Beach (꽃지해수욕장), a gentle 3.2km-long stretch that’s a glorious 300m wide at low tide and popular with photographers at sunset. Snack vendors sell fried prawns, crabs and corn dogs around the parking lot.

There's a pension village a short walk back from the beach.
