Ungcheon Beach Park is a reclaimed urban coastal park in Yeosu featuring a man-made sand beach along the southern shoreline of the Ungcheon district. The park is integrated into a modern residential and commercial waterfront development known as Yeosu Ungcheon Marine Park. It features a protected swimming area, paved walking paths, and a dedicated pine forest promenade. The park provides direct views of the southern islands of Yeosu and the Yeosu Industrial Complex across the bay. Its geography includes a calm cove-like layout sheltered by breakwaters.
