Beautiful Beaches

The coastline of South Jeolla Province is defined by the Dadohaehaesang National Park, an archipelago of thousands of islands offering diverse seaside environments. This collection features a range of coastal landscapes, from the expansive tidal flats of Hampyeong and the fine white sands of Sinan’s islands to the unique cobblestone shores of Goheung. Many of these locations are characterized by 'Solbat'—ancient pine groves planted as windbreaks that now provide natural shade along the water's edge.
