About

Located in the south of the Suncheon Bay estuary, Hwapo Beach is a famous sunrise spot where you can enjoy a beautiful sunrise over the wide open sea. The expansive mudflats are rich in marine resources and famous for the local specialty, small octopus (sebal nakji). In winter, rare migratory birds such as hooded cranes and black-faced spoonbills visit, creating a spectacular sight.

With well-equipped walking trails and convenient facilities along the coast, it is a tranquil beach perfect for a relaxing drive or car camping.
