Booking

Klook sells a surf lesson with board rental at Barrel Surf School on Ingu Beach.

Ingu Beach lies just south of Jukdo, a small island thick with bamboo, with Jukdo Beach on the other side. Sand keeps building up here, so the water stays shallow, and there is no barbed-wire coastal fence, which makes it a favorite with people learning to surf. Guesthouses and surf shops cluster near the beach, and camping on the sand is allowed.
