In the hot summer months, most
people go to the seaside or
riverside during their vacation,
so swimming is the most popular
seaside leisure activity. As Korea
is located in the temperate zone,
swimming is possible only in the
summer season. Every year, 40
million people are estimated to
take part in swimming at the
seaside, so the famous swimming
beaches are crowded in the peak
season and the road congestion to
the beaches is very severe.
Sports fishing is becoming a very
popular activity in the sea.
