Known for
- Kkotji Beach and the Halmi and Halbi rocks at sunset
- Anmyeondo Natural Recreation Forest, with tall old red pines
- Flower crab (kkotge) stew, a local seafood speciality
What to do
Spend the afternoon at Kkotji Beach and stay for the sunset behind the two rocks. Walk the pine forest and eat seafood.
Tip: Public transport is slow out here, so a taxi for the day or a rental car helps.
