Jeongdongjin Marine Terrace Trail with mesmerizing scenery "Jeongdong" in the name, Jeongdongsimgok Badabuchae Trail, originated from how this area is located to the direct east of Hanyang where the king lived, and "Simgok" refers to a village located deep in a valley. Jeongdongjin's topography which resembles the "tip of a fan" and where the trail is located bearing resemblance to a fan spread out towards the sea are the reasons why the area was aptly named the "Jeongdongsimgok Badabuchae Trail." It is designated as a Natural Monument and the country's one and only marine terrace where visitors can observe the traces of crustal movements dating back some 23 million years that keep the secret of how the East Sea was created. As you walk along the 2.86-kilometer-long trail from the Jeongdongjin Sun Cruise parking lot to Simgok Port, you will be able to enjoy the beauty of the blue waves of the East Sea and the grand appearance of uniquely-shaped rocks and cliffs. The trail presents mesmerizing scenery that not many people know about since the area had been solely used for coastal patrols and military guard outposts.
