Hamdeok Beach
Perhaps one of the best beaches on the entire island, Hamdeok beach is on the northeastern coast. Since it's big -- the sands stretch for about 500m (1,640 ft.) -- it's quite popular with the locals. The water is shallow and generally safe (watch for volcanic rocks, though -- they can leave nasty cuts on your feet and legs). There are parking and camping areas available, as well as dressing rooms, showers, and restrooms. You can also have sushi on the pier or have a drink at the cafe on the water.
