Let’s step on the fine sand of Sinduri Coastal Dune, the largest in Korea.

Sinduri Sand Dune, the largest coastal sand dune in Korea, was formed 15,000 years ago after the Ice Age and is still there today. When you climb the top of the sand dune, which is made of sand finer than dirt, you can see the wide open blue sea of ​​Sinduri Beach. It is a rare place in Korea where you can experience a sandy desert.

Sinduri Coastal Sand Dune

The Sindu Sand Dunes on the Taean coast began to form slowly 15,000 years ago after the Ice Age. It is an area directly exposed to the northwest monsoon wind, and is a typical sedimentary landform that formed sand dunes over a long period of time as sand was carried to the coast by strong winds. It is a typical sand dune area where all the natural conditions that can occur in sand dunes, such as sand dunes, dune meadows, dune wetlands, and dune forests, are present, and it is the largest coastal dune and consists of a unique natural landscape. It serves as a buffer connecting the inland and the coast and protects against tsunamis.\n

Dueung Wetland

Near the south of Sinduri Coastal Dune is Duung Wetland, which has been designated as a Ramsar wetland. Duung Wetland, like an oasis in the desert, is a lake made of sand with fresh water rather than sea water, so you can see water lilies in full bloom in the summer.

Sinduri Beach

A barren desert with no end to the road and only swirling sand winds, the desert on the vast expanse of the beach can sometimes become a stage for dreams of imagination and fantasy. There is a place in Sinduri Village, Wonbuk-myeon, Taean-gun, Chungcheongnam-do that gives you that desert atmosphere. When you reach the front of the village, a shabby signpost points in the direction of Sinduri Beach. If you follow the three-way intersection to the right, you will reach Duonggaejae, which goes over Guksabong Peak. If you pass through the forest valley and head towards the beach, a mirage-like scenery will appear above the pine forest in the distance.

Taeanhaean National Park

Taean Coast National Park, which consists of about 130 islands around Anmyeondo Island and the Taean Peninsula, is a coastal resort area with numerous beaches, rocks of various shapes, small mountain peaks, and a coast carved out by erosion, creating a beautiful scenery. In October 1978, 328.99㎢ of this area was designated as a national park and is being developed, and over 250 species of plants grow there, making it widely used academically. \n
