This beautiful marine park covers 327 sq km of land and sea, with 130 islands and islets, and more than 30 beaches. It was badly hit by South Korea’s worst-ever oil spill in December 2007, but the coast has been cleaned up and fishing and tourism have resumed with aplomb.
At the southern end is Anmyeondo (www.anmyondo.com), the park's largest island (and Korea's sixth largest). Further north, on the mainland, the city of Taean (www.taean.go.kr) is the area's biggest hub.
