Designated as a national park in 1988, Byeonsanbando National Park is the only national park in the country that consists of both the ocean and the mountains. The park is divided into two large sections: the shore area, called Outer Byeonsan, and an inland area called Inner Byeonsan. It has mountain peaks made up of unique rock formation, such as Uisanbong Peak (508 meters), Chaeseokgang Cliff, and Jeokbyeokgang Cliffs. Nearby Gyeokpo Port and Naesosa Temple are all worth exploring, enriching the experience of the area. It’s also well known for having the latest sunset in the country with stunning panoramic views.
