Die großartigen Aussichten auf die prächtigen Klippen und die mit Bäumen gesäumte Küste vom Amnam-Park lassen das blau-grüne Wasser mit der bewaldeten Landschaft verschmelzen.
Nach der Erklärung zum Schutzgebiet war der Zutritt zu diesem Gebiet verboten, bis es schließlich 1996 wieder der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht wurde, und Besucher zum ersten Mal die unberührte Landschaft erleben konnten.
Im Park kann man heute angeln, ein Observatorium besuchen und sich an Spazierwegen und einer erhabenen Brücke erfreuen. Die Fülle an Pinien entlang der Wege machen es zu einem angenehmen Spaziergang; auf dem Weg hinauf zum Observatorium bietet dieses gut beforstete Gebiet großartige Aussichten. Wenn Sie angeln möchten, können Sie dies auf dem Meer oder von den fantastisch geformten Felsen aus tun.
Es gibt eine berühmte Straße vom Songdo-Strand zum Amnam-Park, die beliebt ist für sehr gemütliche Fahrten. Die Fahrt dauert etwa 5 min., wenn Sie zu Fuß gehen wollen, brauchen Sie etwa 20 Minuten.
