Goheung County, Administrative county in South Jeolla, South Korea.

Goheung County extends across 775.5 square kilometers of land mass, with three sides bordered by ocean waters containing 171 islands in total.

The region underwent administrative changes in 1963 when several townships from Bongrae-myeon were reorganized into different administrative units including Dohwa-myeon and Podu-myeon.

The county designates the citron tree as its municipal tree, the camellia blossom as its flower, and the dove as its representative bird.

The climate presents seasonal variations with summer temperatures reaching 38.5°C and annual precipitation measuring 1,449.3 millimeters across the region.

The Naro Space Center, established in 2008, functions as South Korea's primary space facility with launch pads, control towers, and research installations.
