Jukseoru Pavilion
Perched on the edge of a rocky cliff, Jukseoru Pavilion is a quaint 2-story pavilion surrounded by foliage. The natural bedrock of the mountain serves as a large part of the pavilion's base, giving the quiet mountain structure an added sense of grace and harmony with its surroundings. Framed poems written by prominent figures of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) hang from the rafters of the pavilion, adding even more historical value to this treasured landmark.

Daegeumgul Cave
Only recently opened to the public (2007), Daegeumgul is a well-preserved cave that has remained almost untouched since it was created by the powerful forces of nature. In the cave you'll find limestone stalactites and series of large and small waterfalls that were formed naturally over time by the water that flows through the cave. For an even closer look at this geographical wonder, take the monorail 140m down into the depths of the cave

Samcheok Ocean Railbike
The Ocean Railbike is a unique leisure activity in which riders pedal along revamped railroad tracks on a special, four-wheel bike. Not just a creative way to tour the coastline, the railbike is also a safe and convenient option for visitors of all ages. The 10km roundtrip course consists of stops at an observatory and a rest station as well as a journey through a marine tunnel, which artfully combines a mini-lesson in marine ecology with a multi-colored laser light show.

Haesindang Park
Celebrating the age-old folk theme of phallicism, Haesindang Park consists of an erotic sculpture park, Haesindang (the shrine of the Sea God), and the Samcheok Fishing Village Folk Museum. On display at the sculpture park are 65 phallus-themed works of art that are set against the backdrop of the powerful East Sea. The Samcheok Fishing Village Folk Museum has a large theater aquarium with state-of-the-art facilities, an observatory, and five exhibition halls. While at the museum, be sure to check out the ship simulation activity corner and the folk exhibits depicting the lives of the fishermen of the East Sea.
