INTRODUCE

One of the exclusive two natural airfields- a unique experience of walking on a beach with no footprints left

全世界只有两处的天然机场,漫步不留下脚印的海边的独特经验

Think of a common beach that we know of. You would imagine the waves coming in and out at the shore, wide field of sand, and the footprints stamped when we walk on the sand. But this typical image of footprints does not match the unique characteristic of Sagot Beach in Baengnyeongdo Island, a Natural Monument no.391. Not a single footprint, and it’s hard to see a tire mark even if a car goes by the shore. This phenomenon is caused by the special landscape that has hardened over the years.

让我们想象平时知悉的海边风景。这会令人想起波浪反复涨潮与退潮的海边、延绵不断的沙场,以及每当移动脚步时,沙子凹陷的脚印。但是,被指定为天然纪念品第391号的白翎岛蛇串海边,却无法看到在沙场印出的脚印。不仅是脚印,即使汽车驶过也不容易看到痕迹,这是因为沙场非常坚固的独特地形之故。
 
The Sagot Beach, formed of hardened quartz, was used as a temporary landing strip during the Korean War- which proved its function as an exclusive natural airfield with Napoli of Italy. Sagot Beach is also called as ‘Sagot Sabin’. Sabin(沙濱) refers to a landscape where sand is accumulated flat and wide. At present time, Sagot Beach is only used for swimming purposes. It is loved as a popular attraction of Baengnyeongdo Island together with Kongdol Beach, Dumujin, Yeonbong Rock, and more.

石英形成的沙子坚固而成的这里的海边,与意大利的拿波里一起,是全世界只有两处的天然机场之一,在6.25战争当时,实际作为临时飞行滑道使用。蛇串海边还被称为‘蛇串沙滨’,而沙滨意味着沙子堆积时平坦而宽广的地形。现在只以海水浴场使用,与周围的豆石海岸、头武镇、连峰岩等一起作为白翎岛的著名观光地深受大家的喜爱。
