See one of the few waterfalls in Asia that drops directly into the sea — a short walk from the car park and striking at late afternoon light while the site is open to visitors.
Walk to Oedolgae Rock for coastal vistas and pop into a nearby café to watch the sunset — cafés typically operate through early evening but verify seasonal hours for the one you choose.
Relax with a seafood feast — grilled abalone, sashimi or haemultang (seafood hotpot) are excellent choices; many restaurants in the harbour area stay open late for dinner service.
