Jukseoru Pavilion

Perched on the edge of a rocky cliff, Jukseoru Pavilion is a quaint structure surrounded by foliage. Since the pavilion uses the natural bedrock as part of its foundation, the height of each column varies slightly in order to accommodate the cliff’s natural topography. 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 its creation. It is characterized by geographical features such as limestone stalactites and series of large and small waterfalls that were formed over time by the water that naturally flows through the cave. For an even closer look at this natural wonder, visitors can take the monorail 140m down into the depths of the cave.

Samcheok Ocean Railbike

The Ocean Railbike is a marine leisure activity in which riders pedal along revamped railroad tracks on a special, four-wheel bike. The rail bike offers a convenient, safe, and scenic tour option suitable 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

Created around the folk theme of phallicism, Haesindang Park consists of Haesindang (shrine of the Sea God), an erotic sculpture park, and the Samcheok Fishing Village Folk Museum. On display at the park are sixty-five phallus-themed sculptures set against the powerful background of the 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 with a ship simulation activity corner and exhibits of folk material showing the lifestyle of fishermen of the East Sea.
