Hallyeohaesang National Park

The park encompasses 545 square kilometers of diverse landscapes, including coastal areas with numerous islands, peninsulas, and mountainous terrain with hiking trails.

Established in 1968, Hallyeohaesang became South Korea's first marine national park, protecting the southeastern coastline and its marine ecosystems.

The park contains multiple districts, including Yeosu-Odongdo and Geoje-Haegeumgang, where visitors can explore traditional temples and experience local maritime traditions.

Visitors can access different sections of the park through a network of ferries that connect the mainland to various islands throughout the year.

In 2015, the waters of Hallyeohaesang witnessed the first sighting of a North Pacific right whale in South Korean waters in 41 years.
