Ilgwang Beach is a beach located in Gijang-gun and is considered one of the Eight Scenic Views of Gijang, beautiful enough to be counted among them. The sandy shore begins where the Icheon River and Icheonpo meet and stretches out in a curve all the way to the Hakri fish market. Around the white sand beach, hundreds-of-years-old pine trees once grew thickly, but they have now disappeared. And in Hakri Village, located at the right end of the white sand beach, cranes, just as the name suggests, used to fly in flocks over the old pine trees, but that sight too has now largely disappeared. In addition, in the middle of the white sand beach is Samseongdae, where it is said that the three sages Jeong Mong-ju, Yi Saek, and Yi Sung-in of the late Goryeo period went sightseeing. Nearby tourist attractions include Guksudang, Namsan Bongsudae, and Hwanghakdae.
