The nice, sandy beach stretches over 250m and has three major swimming
spots: in front of Jeongdongjin Railway Station, at Moraeshigae Park, and at
the Jeongdongjin Seawalls. The spots near the railway station and at the park
are more popular because they are spacious and easy to reach, with Moraeshigae
Park having the added bonus of welcoming swimmers both day and night. Numerous
rocks in front of Jeongdongjin Railway Station are home to shellfish, mussels,
sea urchins and sea mustard.
Aside from swimming, visitors can further
appreciate the beauty of nature by checking out the Sculpture (Sunrise) Park
and Heonhwaro, located to the south of the park. The Jeongdongjin Sunrise Tourist
Train has become a crowd favorite as well, ever since its premier run in 1997.
Despite
the park’s many attractions, nothing can compare to its sunrise view. Many
visitors to the park trek up to the summit of Mt. Goseong, located at the park’s
center, to the Yeongin Pavilion, a prime location for catching the sun’s first
rays.
