2. Real Reviews About Padori Beach
Recently, in May 2024, I set off to Padori Beach with my family and spent single night there. In my book, Padori Beach was quieter, more pristine than other west coast destinations I have been to in the past. At that time, we arrived at two places on the west coast, including ‘Kkotji Beach’, ‘Mageompo Beach’, and I also went to 'Eoeundol Beach' in May, 2024. If you choose to set off for Padori Beach like me, you also get the benefit of being able to visit Eoeundol Beach at the same time since Eundeul Beach is very close to Padori Beach!

⚫ Marine Life:
Do you want to see marine life at beaches?
At Padori Beach, you can discover marine life such as small and colorful starfishㅡI saw a lot of themㅡ seaweed, tiny conches, marine marsh snails, hard-shelled mussels, too-small crabs, tiny fishes, and ugly, squashy, and lumpy trepangs. It looks like a gigantic leech whose mouth sucks blood!

I also caught a small balloon fish that day! You might wonder how I got my hands on it! Haha! When I arrived at the puddle on the beach, I unexpectedly discoved it. I went to the beach to look for marine life very early in the morning, when the low tide of the sea had already ended, and besides, it was very cloudy due to the rain. The beach hills seemed mystic with misty rain pouring here and there!
While I was looking for marine life in the puddle, luckily, a little swellfish was just swimming there! Oddly, the swellfish seemed sluggish and slow moving, like nothing happened around despite I went into the water!😯 Aa as soon as I saw 👀 it, my heart was racing to catch the sluggish balloonfish! Thus it was so easy to grab! Have you ever caught a balloonfish in this way? Haha! Look at the balloonfish I caught! :)

However, the ballonfish was dead in the end struggling to only survive... Yes...I killed it in that way... The eyes of the fish was getting lost a pep...

⚫ Seagulls:
Around that time, I also saw the sound of the wave crying. Sea mews seem to frequently reside there because marine life thrives there and provides abundant feeds for them. As I was watching seagulls on the sea rocks, I was reminded of the book "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" by Richard Bach.
“The bird that flies high sees farthest,” Jonathan Livingston Segull told his readers. This means that we humans must live longing for metaphysical philosophy, just as Jonathan Livingston Seagull searches for a way to fly the farthest, but Jonathan Livingston Seagull was just another mundane seagull that first used its wings to find feeds in the sea. The other seagulls were busy hunting for feeds, chasing hylic things, of all things. In that sense, Jonathan Livingston seagull, as a bird whose wings to soar, would have sensed who he was, the origin; when most people think of birds, they probably think of their wings, which may be where birds originated. Jonathan Livingston Seagull yearned for something more. Jonathan was not just interested in finding feeds; his wings craved 'the freedom of soaring flight.' Freedom... Jonathan must have felt a deep sense of purpose, a connetion to somthing greater, the very essence of what it meant to be a seagull who could truly fly.
For this reason, Jonathan Livingston Seagull has flown as far and high as wings can take a seagull.
... So what kind of invisible wings would you like to have? Is it a metaphysical philosophy or hylic things? Well... I think it's too drastic, like dualism. Both will be necessary to keep us alive... Even so, in my eyes, we humans should seek a metaphysical phiosopy rather than hylic things in this world, as if Jonathan Livingston seagull seeking first flight in the sea.

⚫ Pension Cost:
When I used one of pensions there, the charge of using pension a nigit was about $118(₩160,000) in April, but the charge of using pensions are changeble based on a peak season like summer or a low-season like winter. When you depart to beaches in peak season in Korea, the charge of using pensions is more expensive. I spent one night this nearby pension as below:
⚫ Camping site under the pine trees:
⚫ Restaurants:
The beach lacked a variety of restarnts nearby.
⚫ Enterance fee : free
⚫ Parking : available
But I am not sure if you stay at a pension, but if you are, parking is surely available for it is included with your stay. The beach is not very commercialized, so there's limited parking. It does not have big, developed parking like some urban beaches. been developing to assure wide and urban parking lots.
⚫ Times of high and low tides:
Visitors are allowed to stay on the seashore for up to 4 hours, for example, when the low tide starts at a.m. 10:00, then you could go into the seashore as early as a.m. 8:00 and would need to exit by a.m.12:00 based on the standard of the low tide time.
4. Things To Keep In Mind
You should beware of eating marine life such as various conches, although it looks edible for they tend to have poisons called 'tetramine' so it brings up 'food poisoning'. The pufferfish that I caught also has a deadly neurotoxin called 'tetrodotoxin' which can be fatal to humans. Since it is NOT SAFE to eat, after comming home, I discarded all the marine life I had caught.
