Known for
- Jebudo, a tidal island with a seabed road
- Wonpyeong Herb Farm
- Gojeong-ri dinosaur egg fossil site
What to do
Cross to Jebudo when the tide opens the road, walk its shore and watch the sunset. Bibong Wetland Park is a calm green stop.
Tip: Check the tide table before going to Jebudo, as the road floods at high tide.
