Waon Beach, Coastal beach in Suncheon, South Korea
The beach extends for three kilometers along the South Korean coast, featuring wide sandy shores bordered by reed fields and tidal flats.
The beach received its name from a local legend about a monk who observed a rock formation on Sangbong Mountain resembling a resting cow.
The coastal area maintains a strong connection to maritime traditions, with local fishermen harvesting cockles between October and early May.
The beach offers facilities for visitors with disabilities, including accessible restrooms, elevators, and designated parking spaces near the main entrance.
During low tide, the exposed mudflats create an S-shaped pathway through the tidal landscape, revealing marine life such as mudskippers and clams.
