Step onto the Fine Sands of Sinduri Coastal Sand Dune, the Largest in Korea

As the largest coastal sand dune in Korea, Sinduri Coastal Sand Dune began forming 15,000 years ago after the Ice Age. Climbing up the sand dune, made of sand finer than soil, reveals the open blue sea of Sinduri Beach. It is one of the rare places in Korea where you can experience a sand desert.

   Taean Sinduri Coastal Sand Dune

   태안 신두리 해안사구

   Taean Sinduri Coastal Sand Dune began forming slowly 15,000 years ago after the Ice Age. Directly exposed to the northwest monsoon winds, strong winds transported sand to the coast, making it a classic depositional landform that formed sand hills over many years. It is a typical dune area featuring all natural conditions that can appear in a sand dune, including foredunes, dune grasslands, dune wetlands, and dune forests. As the largest coastal dune, it boasts unique natural scenery. It serves as a buffer connecting the inland and the coast while offering protection against storm surges. MoreLess

   Sinduri Beach

   신두리해수욕장

   An endless, desolate desert swept by sandstorms—meeting a desert spread across a vast beach can sometimes become a stage for imagination and fantastical dreams. A place where you can feel such a desert atmosphere is located in Sinduri Village, Wonbuk-myeon, Taean-gun, Chungcheongnam-do. Upon arriving in front of the village, a humble signpost points in the direction of Sinduri Beach. Following the road to the right at the three-way intersection leads to Duonggaejae passing over Guksabong Peak, and heading toward the beach past Sumokgol reveals a mirage-like scenery rising above the pine forest in the distance.MoreLess
