Overview

Kitesurf

Jinha Beach is located in Ulsan, on the southeast coast of South Korea. This east-facing beach catches NE and E winds well, particularly during the autumn and winter months. The beach is popular with surfers and kitesurfers from the Ulsan and Busan area.

Sandy bottom with moderate wave conditions during NE wind events. The east coast has minimal tidal variation compared to the west coast. The spot is accessible from both Ulsan and Busan, making it a convenient option for the southeast Korean kite community. Suitable for intermediate riders.
