Pohang City in Korea is welcoming the summer vacation season by opening eight of its local beaches all at once, accompanied by a variety of beachfront festivals. These festivals include a nationwide singing contest, a bentonite festival showcasing local resources, and a sand festival with huge sand sculptures and drone light shows. Additionally, families can enjoy participation-based programs such as cosmetic-making workshops, clay quizzes, barefoot walking, and more. The festivities culminate in a retro-themed festival featuring contests and cultural activities. Pohang aims to blend marine, cultural, and healing activities for its visitors.
