Water is shallow a long way out. This spot has small chop and wind-generated waves that roll into the beach. The river mouth has many sand bars yet to be explored for kiting.
The beach is extremely spacious and safe for launching. Perfect place to kite buggy or landboard. The beach is located at the mouth of the Nakdong River, which makes for very fine sand and silt.

Southeast Korea has three main wind directions - SW (usually spring through fall, but very light in the summer); NE (usually spring and fall); NW (usually winter). This beach works well with S, SW, and NW (also N and W) winds. The winter NW winds are the strongest winds and should be ridden right at the river mouth between the main beach and the sand bars. Bring big kites for S/SW winds: 14 to 20 sqm; smaller for NW winds: 10 to 16 sqm. Due to the shape of the beach and the many sand bars, one can find side and side/onshore riding areas at different locations around the spot.
From Gimhae airport cross the Nakdong River to the east side, then take the highway and follow the river all the way down to the river mouth at Dadaepo Beach.
This is the kitesurfer's beach for southeast Korea. It has all the ingredients - large safe launch, shallow water, decent wind September to May. See Sinyang Beach, Cheju Island for better kiting (1 hour flight from here). Be prepared to go to Jinha following a kite session here, as SW winds are usually followed by NE winds in the spring and fall. South winds are for Dadaepo; NE winds are for Jinha and Pohang.
