Manseong-ri Black Sand Beach, which you can meet after passing through Marae Tunnel from the Yeosu Expo, is famous for its unique black sand. This sand contains a large amount of iron components, emitting far-infrared rays, and is 4 to 6 times thicker than regular sand, so it has high sunlight conductivity, making it optimized for sand bathing. It is said to be effective for neuralgia and women's diseases, and every year on the 20th day of the 4th lunar month, the 'Black Sand Eye-Opening Day' event, when the sand's efficacy is believed to reach its peak, is held, drawing many people from all over the country.
You can ride a rail bike along the beach and enjoy the coastal scenery with the cool sea breeze, and it is also known as the birthplace of singer Jang Beom-june's 'Yeosu Night Sea', making it popular among young people as well. The Marae 2nd Tunnel leading to the beach is also a place that holds the painful history of the Japanese colonial period.
