Commissioner Kim said, "With the summer season approaching, beaches nationwide are either about to open or already open, and accordingly, the Coast Guard is strengthening coastal patrol activities to prepare for safety accidents. It is important to prevent incidents in advance for the safety of the public, and the Coast Guard will do its best to support a comfortable summer vacation for the public through thorough preparation and inspection without negligence."

Meanwhile, Yeosu Ungcheon Beach is scheduled to open on July 6, and Byeonsan and Gyeokpo Beaches in the Jeonbuk region are set to open on August 5.

As the opening dates of beaches approach, the Coast Guard's safety inspections and preparedness activities are being further strengthened, raising expectations that the public will be able to enjoy a safe summer vacation at the beach.
