Mokpo Peace Plaza (목포평화광장)

This is a representative plaza in Mokpo and a place where locals often take a rest. Visitors can enjoy the seascape in the daytime, and Mokpo’s night view when the sun sets. The Mokpo Dancing Ocean Fountain is in the middle of the park, along with gardens on both sides. Walking along the flat road toward the sea is wonderful for people of all ages and pets, as it has a wooden deck with stairs. It has a photo spot and an outdoor stage that anyone can use, so street performances are commonly held there.

Located on the coast of Yonghae-dong in Mokpo, Gatbawi is a natural sandstone and tafoni formation near the mouth of the Yeongsangang River, where freshwater runs into the sea.

The rock is actually made of two individual formations: one measuring 8 meters tall and one 6 meters tall. Valued not only for its aesthetics, Gatbawi Rock is of high geological value as a “natural sculpture” that was formed as a result of years of weathering. The rock formation was officially recognized as a Natural Monument on April 27, 2009.
