Eurwangni Beach
을왕리해수욕장
A crescent-shaped sandy beach on the west coast of Yeongjong Island, about 20 minutes from Incheon Airport, famous for Yellow Sea sunsets and seaside grilled shellfish.
Eurwangni Beach is located on the west side of Yeongjong Island, where Incheon International Airport is situated. Its roughly 700-meter sandy beach is embraced by pine forest and rocky headlands and faces the Yellow Sea, making it one of the most popular beaches in the Seoul metropolitan area. Swimming is allowed during the summer season, and umbrellas are available for rent on the sand. The rest of the year, the main attractions are sunsets and seafood. Behind the beach, an entire street is lined with restaurants serving grilled shellfish (jogae-gui) and raw fish. After dark, grilling scallops and clams in these restaurants with soju is a classic local pastime. Nearby are Wangsan Beach and Seonnyeoam Beach, and visitors can walk along the seaside trail. Because it is close to the airport, it is ideal for a half-day outing during a long layover or before departing the country. Note that the Yellow Sea has large tidal ranges, and mudflats are exposed at low tide, so swim only at designated times and areas. Weekend evenings can be congested. Getting there: take Bus 302 or another bus from Terminal 1 of Incheon Airport for about 25 minutes, or take a taxi for about 15 to 20 minutes.
