During our week off for Chuseok holiday, we ventured to Daecheon Beach for the first time. We've heard lots about it. It was a beautiful beach. The water was great. There was some minor jellyfish stings for some visitors although our family escaped without any marks. The water was nice and much beach fun was had...
We stayed at the Taecheon Beach Association property. To describe this, perhaps it is best to think of a traditional church camp. There is a main lodge and meeting area and many cabins scattered about. It was originally a get away and summer retreat for many missionaries. Many of the houses have undergone renovations and quite a few more are still in desperate need of work. The lodge was done fairly recently and is nice. They had some nice playground equipment.
Many other staff from the 2 schools visited there as well. The McAllister's brought an inflatable boat with them which all the kids thoroughly enjoyed.
One afternoon, we had so much fun that Sara just wore out. She collapsed on our beach mat and fell asleep in her towel.
One day the kids made an entire castle area inclusive of a tunnel under the entrance, seashell crowned walls and even some gardens and people. You can see the rather large beach area. This part of the coast of Korea has some of the largest tidal fluctuations in the world from high tide to low tide. It is a fairly flat beach so it made for a nice play area.
This is actually the back side of the camp area. We didn't go in the water here but it was quite beautiful.
