Despite installed barriers and signs, local residents and tourists frequently use the campsite's internal roads for walks, causing discontent among paying guests. The Dong-gu district authorities stated that instead of physical barriers, which could block the sea view, they are focusing on constant guidance and managing pedestrian flow.
