About
Dongbaekseom Island has long been admired for its beauty. Although it has been connected to the mainland by sedimentation over the years, it still retains the name 'island' and traces of its ancient topography. The name “Haeundae” comes from the fact that the Silla-era scholar Choi Chi-won, who admired the beauty of the island, carved his own name on a rock, and the landscape has long been renowned for its outstanding beauty. There are many historical symbols, so it is fun to look around. There are various attractions, including the legendary Princess Hwangok Mermaid Statue and the Nurimaru APEC House, where the 2005 APEC Summit was held. You can also enjoy the magnificent scenery of camellias in full bloom from winter to spring. Make many fond memories on Dongbaekseom Island, where you can enjoy its awe-inspiring natural scenery and interesting history together!
