Haegeumgang Coastal Road, Temptation in Shades of Classic Blue!

Sightseeing spots along coastal driving routes are the highlight of contact-free travel. You can encounter everything shaped by nature, from mountains and fields to the sea, sky, and rocks. Another advantage is that you can travel regardless of the season. The southern coast boasts numerous coastal roads that make you want to hit the gas just by hearing their names. In particular, Geoje Island's Haegeumgang Coastal Road is a place where you can take in all of this at once: emerald seas, strangely shaped rocks carved by endless time and waves, layered rock strata, and beaches echoing with the rattling chorus of pebbles. It carries an exotic landscape reminiscent of a small South Pacific island or Santorini, Greece. ※ You can zoom in on the map below to check the detailed locations of each course. 　 If the courses overlap on the map, please zoom in to verify. 　 (You can zoom in on the map using your mouse wheel or fingers at the desired location.)
