Dongil-ri Port and traces of Naroe's salt-making culture

Dongil-ri Port is a small harbor on the coast of Dongil-ri, Daejeong-eup. The old local place-name Naroe and stories of coastal salt and spring water evoke the lives of villagers who fished and lived close to the sea.

Stories of old springs and salt-making in official tourism information do not imply a current drinking-water source or operating activities. Plan a quiet walk on land, viewing the sea, stone walls and village scenery around the harbor.

A short look at the harbor and village coast

We suggest viewing harbor surroundings open to visitors and returning along the same path. When adding the stop to a Noeulhaean-ro drive, leave room by reducing travel plans to allow for photos and breaks.

Use Dongil-ri's salt-making history as background for viewing the harbor's stones and village coast. Do not allocate time for salt-making activities unless current production and activity availability are confirmed.

Walking as a family through residents' everyday surroundings

Stone walls and village lanes are not exclusively for tourists. Do not enter front-door areas or workplaces. With children, observe harbor boats, stone walls and the sea from ordinary walking areas.

Explain to children the difference between old spring water and water used today. Observe from village lanes rather than treating stone walls or spaces outside residents' homes as photo props.

From the Daejeong coast to the next viewpoint

Set Dongil-ri, Daejeong-eup, as your destination and connect the visit with seaside stops around Moseulpo. To walk to another coastal harbor, check whether sidewalks exist and the actual distance, and arrange return transport for a one-way walk.

After Dongil-ri Port, consider Sanbangsan Mountain or Suwolbong Geo Trail. Rather than fitting them all into one visit, choose one to start with according to your direction of travel and your companions' energy, and check the actual transport connections.
