As social distancing in daily life has been lifted this year, events such as festivals at the beach will be held normally, and it is planned to provide entertainment to tourists.

Namhae Sangju Beach is working hard to attract tourists by preparing to open at night, extending the previous opening hours from August 1st to 15th from 7 pm to 9 pm by two hours.
Despite the relaxed quarantine measures, it is recommended to wear a mask when entering and exiting multi-use facilities such as restrooms and to prevent large numbers of people from gathering indoors by managing the access quota for facilities where it is difficult to wear a mask, such as a shower room and at festivals. If it is difficult to keep a distance of 1m or more, even outdoors due to crowds of people, they plan to instruct people to wear a mask.
