It's the perfect value-for-money destination. 🐚 Clam digging experience tips Dalsanpo's West Sea tidal flats are a natural haven for clams, clams, and bamboo shoots. I'm going to tackle the Haerujil challenge, planning to catch a ton of clams and boil them to eat! ✔️ What to Bring • Small bucket • Gloves • Hoe or other clam digging tools • Boots (barefoot prohibited on the mudflats) I brought my own gear, but many pensions offer free rentals, so be sure to check before booking. ✔️ How to Catch • Scrape broadly, focusing on the small "breathing holes" on the mudflat surface. • The key is to scrape broadly and shallowly, rather than digging too deep. ⏰ Clams are best caught during low tide (two hours before and after low tide). The West Sea has a large tidal range, so be sure to check the tide table. 🌅 Sunset Point • You can watch the sun setting directly over the West Sea's unique horizon. 📸 • The color transition from orange to pink to purple is truly beautiful. • We recommend finding a spot 30 minutes before sunset! 🍖 Dalsanpo Beach Campground BBQ •After clam digging, enjoy a leisurely barbecue at the adjacent Dalsanpo Beach Campground for a perfect ending to your day. 🔥 BBQ Preparation • Barbecue grills, charcoal, and equipment are available for rent at the campground. • We recommend purchasing meat and vegetables in advance from a nearby supermarket or Taean-eup. • Simply de-shell the clams you've caught and enjoy them in clam soup or grilled clams for a truly delicious experience! Dalsanpo Beach Campground is located directly on the beach, making barbecue with the sea breeze a truly exquisite experience. The evening waves create a perfect ambiance, creating a perfect atmosphere.
