About

Waon Beach is a 3km long beach located at the eastern end of Suncheon Bay. It has a name meaning 'warm water flows over the shape of a lying cow', and it was a quiet fishing village. At low tide, a winding S-shaped waterway is revealed over the wide mudflat, creating a spectacular sight where migratory birds, including hooded cranes, come to visit.

In particular, the sunset scenery where the sun sets behind Solseom in front of the beach, dyeing the entire mudflat red, is so beautiful that it is considered one of Namdo's representative sunset spots.
