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.

Seonjaedo Island in Incheon is believed to have been settled since the Neolithic Era. It had been called Sowudo Island during the Goryeo and Joseon dynasties, before it was named Seonjaedo in 1871. The name Seonjaedo means "an island where a divine fairy came down and danced." At low tide, a sandbar path connecting the island with the mainland appears from the ocean. Seonjaedo Island is also a bridge island that connects Daebudo and Yeongheungdo Islands.
