With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy all that Deokpo Beach, 30 miles away, has to offer. Geoje Sea Village Folk Museum, Geoje City Hall and Kohyeon General Market alone make the drive out worthwhile. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Geoje-si Beach, 25 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Mongdol Beach. (But we’d also recommend Chilcheonryang Seabattle Memorial Park and Nongso Pebble Beach.)
