Buan: what to see and do

Known for

• Chaeseokgang, layered sea cliffs on the west coast
• Byeonsan Beach and Gosapo Beach, edged with pines
• Sujeongdang, a seaside shrine near the red cliffs

What to do

Walk the shore at Chaeseokgang to see its layered rock wall, then visit Sujeongdang on the cliffs nearby. Beaches such as Byeonsan and Gosapo are good for a sunset.

Tip: Check the tide table before visiting Chaeseokgang, since the rocks are best seen at low tide.
