🏄 Surfing? We just watched
Hajodae Beach — surfboards lined up along the sand
This whole stretch is a surf beach,
so surfboards are lined up
all along the sand.
The surf lessons
were split into several groups, too.
A cloudy day, and the waves were fairly big

and the waves were fairly big.
We stayed out of the water
and just watched the waves.
🏖 Sand play for the kids
The kids lay down in the sand
and made body prints.
And right next to that, digging in the sand!

🧜 Sand sculptures on the beach
What stood out most
on this beach were the sand sculptures.
A mermaid, a sailing ship,
a lion and a galloping horse
stand right on the sand.
