Seawall, which connects Hwagok-ri, Daesan-eup and Gyoro-ri, Seongmun-myeon, Dangjin-gun.
The floodgate of the Daeho Seawall is also located at the site. The 7.8-km-long Daeho Seawall was
completed on November 16, 1984. It is a scenic ocean drive with an expansive view of the large
and small islands floating on the sea. It is also a popular sea fishing venue. In the middle of Daeho
Seawall, is Dobido Island. It was developed as a recreational site equipped with accommodations,
sports and recreation facilities, and a farmer’s market. It has since become a highly favored tourist
destination.
Around Samgilpo Port are a number of sashimi (Korean raw fish) restaurants where visitors can
enjoy fresh seafood with a great view in a tranquil atmosphere. Daeho Seawall is also known as
paradise for winter migratory birds, so each winter it attracts a number of birds, photographers,
and birdwatchers.
