A part of the Hallyeo Haesang National park, the Yeocho-Hongpo coastal road is a scenic 3.5 km short drive along the coast.
The drive offers one of the best views of the sparkling sea and the many small islands clustered around Geoje Island. The most popular ones, however, are the Yeocha and Hongpo islands.Yeocho-Hongpo is a cluster of islands located around Mt. Mangsan lending the scene a very mystical feel.
You can reach the Hongpo Observatory along the drive via a hike, which is more of a walk along an unpaved road, and catch one of the best sunsets in Geoje-do. The observatory is yet another popular location for the filming of Korean dramas.
Another way to enjoy the landscape is to hike Mt Mangsan (397m). The hike ends at an inlet on the Yeocha Pebble beach where you can set up a camp or a barbecue to rest after the hike.
