Wolmido Island

Wolmido is a small island, but it is packed with interesting attractions and eateries. At the Wolmi Theme Park (My Land), visitors can go on the rides while enjoying the cool sea breeze. Wolmido Island's Culture Street is another popular tourist site that is busy on weekends with large crowds of visitors milling about and enjoying the area's fine dining and recreational facilities. The streets are lined with seafood restaurants and coffee shops that offer great views of the ocean.

Wolmi Park

Wolmi Park on Wolmido Island was the site of an army base for around 50 years before it was turned into a garden and opened to the public in 2001. The area's natural beauty is well preserved and the well-kept path leading up to the mountain top offers a pleasant hike. At the summit, visitors are treated to a great view of the Wolmi Observatory and the Wolmi Dondae Lookout Post.

Eurwangni Beach

Eurwangni Beach has a 700 meter-long white sand beach along a crescent-shaped coastline. Surrounded by a charming grove of pine trees and unique rock formations, the beach is said to be one of the most beautiful spots to watch the sunset. The beach is crowded with visitors all year round as it is well-equipped with leisure and convenience facilities, making it a prime location for a variety of activities like swimming, sea sports and fishing.
