Review:
Daecheon Beach is found on the west coast of South Korea and open during summer months, usually from mid-June through mid-August. Thousands of visitors come to the 3.5-kilometer beach featuring white sands and a private 100-meter sunbathing zone. Daecheon Beach never charges admission and is just a five-minute walk from bus stops. There are many places to get food and drink along the beach, as well as stands to rent tubes. The most popular time to visit Daecheon Beach is during Mudfest, Boryeong Mud Festival, which is held in July each year. The festival brings more than two million people to Boryeong and Daecheon Beach. The mud is trucked up from the Boryeong Mud Flats and is said to be rich in minerals. Many cosmetics companies use this mud in their products. The two-week festival culminates in a huge final weekend party.
