Coastal viewing and actual conditions for entering the water

Plan primarily to view the sea and wind turbines from permitted land areas and return. If you want to enter the water, check the day’s restrictions, water depth, currents and safety management; if conditions are unclear, limit the visit to viewing the beach.

Families who need amenities should check Konan Beach’s actual operating conditions before deciding to visit. If marine activities are your main purpose, also consider an alternative with confirmed safety-management conditions.

What to check when visiting with children

Parking and amenities may be limited, so plan your family’s movement and rest first. Even if rentals or amenities operate in one season, do not assume they will remain the same for your next visit.

You can observe the wind turbines and sea from land. Photos of water activities on the Haengwon coast do not mean children can enter the water freely.

Continue along the Haengwon-ri coast toward Woljeong

Check both Konan Beach and its Haengwon-ri location on the map, then approach on foot from a place where parking is permitted. When adding Woljeong-ri Beach or the Gimnyeong area, do not confuse these with other names for the same place.

After Konan Beach, consider Woljeong-ri Beach or Gimnyeong Beach. 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.
