Gyeongjeong Beach is famous for its serene and clean water with gentle waves. The southern part of the beach is made of rocks. Visitors should avoid swimming in the waters since they are used as an aqua farm for growing marine products such as sea cucumbers, abalone and sea squirts. The beachside road is a perfect driving course with the view of the horizon.

The crabs caught from the sea near this village had legs that resemble bamboo shoots, earning the name “daege,” combining the letters that mean bamboo and crab in Korean. The village was originally known as Chayu Village, meaning “to cross on a wagon,” from during the Goryeo period because the village resembled a saddle on a wagon. But recently, it has been renamed Yeongdeok Daege Wonjo Village and a local monument has been established. The nearby Gyeongjeong Breakwater is famous among anglers.
