Doripo

Doripo Port, located at the southern tip of Chilasan Sea, connecting Hampyeong and Yeonggwang, and at the end of Haeje Peninsula, is a scenic spot where you can witness both sunsets and sunrises. It has been selected as one of the "100 Beautiful Fishing Villages of Korea" by the Korea Tourism Organization. The Chilasan Bridge, connecting Doripo in Haeje-myeon, Muan-gun, and Yeonggwang-gun, is a popular driving route. The waters of Hamhae Bay, surrounded by the Haeje Peninsula and the land areas of Muan, Hampyeong, and Yeonggwang, are the primary spawning grounds for fish in the southwestern coast. Various species of fish, including sea bass, flounder, mackerel, and cuttlefish, lay their eggs and spawn here, and young fish venture out to the open sea, only to return to this area as adults to reproduce. In addition, Hamhae Bay is home to seaweed and oyster farms, and is known for its abundant supply of plump and tender Muan mud octopus. At the end of the seawall in Muan-gun, there is a lighthouse shaped like an octopus, built to commemorate the Muan mud octopus and to pray for the abundance of the sea and the beauty of the fishing village harbor.
