Although Geojampo beach is on the west coast, the estuary is facing the east allowing for a great view of the sunset and sunrise. The nearby Maedo Island is also called Sharkseom Island because it creates the shape of a shark's fin. The sunlight along the ocean creates a beautiful view during sunrise and sunset. The beach is lined with pine trees and has white sand, making it a popular family vacation destination. There are plans to develop the area to an international vacation destination.
