West coast · Taean, South Chungcheong
Sinduri Beach & Dunes
신두리해수욕장
The largest coastal sand dunes in Korea, protected behind the beach.
Behind Sinduri's beach is the biggest coastal dune field in the country, built up over thousands of years by wind off the Yellow Sea and protected as a natural monument.
Boardwalks cross the dunes so the sand is not trampled, and the plants and insects here exist almost nowhere else in Korea.
