November 4, 2017 Fernanda Pittenger

Boryeong (Korean pronunciation: [po.ɾjʌŋ]), commonly known as Daecheon, is a city in South Chungcheong Province, South Korea. It is located on the coast of the Yellow Sea. It lies on the Janghang Line railroad, which connects it to Seoul via the Gyeongbu Line. It is also connected to the Seohaean Expressway. Boryeong is known around Korea for its beaches, particularly Daecheon Beach, and its annual mud festival around July, Boryeong Mud Festival. The city's beach-mud is widely touted for its cosmetic properties. As elsewhere along the southwest coast of the Korean peninsula, there are numerous small islands, many of which are connected by ferry to Daecheon Port.

I and my wife visited this beach in vacation. Because of visiting November, so there was not many people and quiet. The seaview was not bad, and along beach line, there was many clam and sashimi restaurant. We were satisfied with winter beach and quiet atmosphere. There was good place to enjoy in summer, but there was good in winter, too.

Muchangpo Beach

Reviewed By SriHugolin - Seoul, South Korea

La plage est propre et étendue. Le front de mer est bien aménagée.
Sympathique pour une sortie en famille.
Mais impossible de s'éloigner du rivage sous peine se se voir cerner par un des surveillants à jet ski qui passent la journée à patrouiller à vive allure le long de la plage!
En gros, on a le droit de patauger jusqu'à 2 mètres du bord, au-delà, la brigade à jet ski vous interpelle si elle ne vous heurte pas avec leur engin... Incompréhensible

Boryeong Mud Festival

Reviewed By Jonathan L - Incheon, South Korea

This place is a great beach because it's really sandy and clean, but one of the greatest attractions would be the Boryeong Mud Festival held annually. Equipped with many different blown-up games that you can play with friends while doused in mud, it is great fun for the entire family as well as friends.
On top of that, the mud is known to be good for your skin. Of course, with less people it would be less queuing time for you and more chances to play the different games available. Though, a little bit of the fun comes from throwing mud water on other people and getting mud water thrown on you as well!
By far one of the most fun festivals attended!

아담한 산속마을의 개화예술공원은 조각들과 미술품들이 전시되있다. 무엇보다 안쪽의 허브하우스에 잉어들이 돌아다니는 모습이 아름다웠다. 입장료는 1인 오천원

박물관 자체는 오래됬지만 주변의 산책로가 매우 좋다. 박물관을 보고 주변 산속을 산책하는 코스로 계획하면 좋고 인근의 개화예술공원과 함께 방문하면 좋음

Sapsido Island

Reviewed By Repramanda - Asan, South Korea

Sapsido is a quiet, uncommercial island, a short boat ride from crowded and busy Korea. The Beaches are clean and the ocean is clearer than those on the Mainland. This is not a party or shopping spot. The only thing to do is relax and have fun. Almost all of the residents offer some kind of service to tourists, either a guestroom, a restaurant or a convienience shop. Those are about all the services available. You want to come with that in mind. Very few locals speak english, but they are friendly and welcoming. The island is small enough that you can walk across it, but you may not have to as locals may offer you a lift from the ferry dock. This island can easily be visited as a day trip, but you may want to bring a book or fall asleep on the beach.
