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.

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.
