Tongyeong Port Kkulppang Street (통영항 꿀빵거리)
2026-01-29
Junagang-dong, Tongyeong-si, Gyeongsangnam-do
Near Tongyeong Port, Central Market is home to a street lined with shops selling Tongyeong kkulppang, or honey bread, the city’s signature dessert. Originally created as a long-lasting snack for local sailors in the warm coastal climate, this treat is made by filling dough with sweet red bean paste, deep-frying it, and coating it with honey. First introduced by Omisa Kkulppang in the 1960s, it has since become one of Tongyeong’s most famous local specialties, much like Cheonan’s walnut cakes. With views of Tongyeong Port and the South Sea, the area is also close to Dongpirang Village, Tongyeong Sebyeonggwan Hall, and Chungmu Gimbap Street, making it an ideal stop for sightseeing and local food.
Keunggeut Lighthouse (큰끝등대)
2026-01-29
Pyeongsa-ri, Dolsan-eup, Yeosu, Jeollnam-do
Keunggeut Lighthouse is a beautiful hidden gem located at the eastern tip of Dolsando Island in Yeosu. The way to get there is difficult, and it is not well-known because it is hidden in the forest. There is no separate parking lot, so visitors usually park on the shoulder of the road and pass through a small forest path that runs between the roads. The path is not rugged, but it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes. Following the pine tree path, one will encounter the endless horizon and the sound of clear blue waves at the edge of the forest, along with a white lighthouse that blends well with the scenery. The pretty tidal rocks and the emerald beach look like a painting, attracting locals and tourists in Yeosu to capture this view. The sight of the waves crashing against the bizarre rocks and cliffs next to the lighthouse is also beautiful. However, there are no safety devices or fences, so caution is advised. * Pets are allowed.
Dangmeori Hamo Street (당머리하모거리)

29-1 Namsannam 1-gil, Yeosu-si, Jeollanam-do
Among the various types of conger eel, chamjangeo is best known as hamo, the variety traditionally enjoyed as shabu-shabu. The term originates from Japan, where the eel earned its name for its tendency to bite aggressively. The conger eel is at its best from mid-April to late October, when it has fully built up nutrients in the clean waters of Korea’s southern coast. Due to its rich protein content, it is prepared in a wide variety of dishes, including shabu-shabu, salt-grilled eel, soybean paste–grilled eel, cold raw fish soup (mulhoe), and spicy gochujang-marinated grilled eel. Whole grilled hamo with soybean paste is considered a true delicacy among delicacies. Yeosu is a port city where eels are abundantly caught and eel dishes are especially popular. In summer, gaetjangeo dishes, particularly those made with hamo, are sold at around 50 restaurants. Although hamo is also available in other parts of Jeollanam-do, such as Goheung and Wando, Yeosu’s Hamo Street is the most famous. Hamo Street is a seaside alley lined with specialty restaurants serving hamo shabu-shabu and fresh sashimi. The Namsan Park nearby offers a pleasant place for a light walk after a meal.

Bongsan-dong, Yeosu-si, Jeollanam-do
Yeosu is known as a paradise for food lovers, offering a wide variety of dishes. The representative dish of the Yeosu region, dolgejang baekban (marinated crab set menu), is considered one of the top ten delicacies of Yeosu, along with grilled eel, braised hairtail, and the traditional Yeosu set meal. The main ingredient used in crab marinated in soy sauce is the snow crab and freshwater crab known locally as dolga or banjanggae. Bongsan-dong has many fishing boats arriving directly from the nearby sea, making it a region rich in seafood throughout the year. As more restaurants specializing in marinated crab dish opened, the area became known as Crab Alley. Over time, the street developed into a concentrated dining area dedicated to this dish, attracting tourists eager to taste it. In 2009, it was officially designated as Bongsan Gejang Baekban Street. Noteworthy attractions near the Bongsan-dong Gejang Baekban Street includes a lakeside park located a 4-minute drive away and the Yeosu Specialty Seafood Market, which is about a 7-minute drive away.

Maldo Island is located in Okdo-myeon, Gunsan, at the end of the Gogunsan Archipelago, and is also known as "Kkeumseom Island" (End-point Island). It is a small island with about 30 households, but due to the surrounding waters being a golden fishing ground, it has the largest lighthouse in the Gogunsan Archipelago, making it a tourist attraction. The island is dotted with unique landmarks such as lighthouses, cheonnyeongsong (millennium pines), and Dalbawi Rock, and is well-known for its beautiful sunset views. Maldo Island was reportedly first settled during the mid-Joseon dynasty by Sim Ban-seo, an exile from Seoul who cultivated the land and laid the foundation for the island's growing population.

5 Myeongdo-gil, Okdo-myeon, Gunsan-si, Jeonbuk-do
Myeongdo takes its name from the character “myeong,” which means “bright,” as its clear waters were likened to the union of the moon and the sun. It is also known as Yakdo Island, or “Medicinal Island,” for the wide variety of medicinal herbs that thrive there despite constant exposure to sea winds. Centered around Bangchukdo Island, visitors can enjoy sightseeing cruises and fishing by boat, and admire the island’s beautiful and unusual rock formations. In the mountainous areas of the island, dozens of medicinal herb species grow after enduring the harsh sea winds. The most well-known among them is laserwot, called bangpung in Korean, which is traditionally believed to help prevent postpartum pain syndrome in pregnant women and to offer effects such as inducing perspiration, reducing fever, relieving pain, and alleviating neuralgia, purportedly expelling 36 types of pain. It is also said to be effective in improving concentration, particularly for students preparing for exams.
