▲The paradise of gourmet food, Goheung

Autumn in Goheung is filled with abundant delicacies. The Spanish mackerel caught near Naro Island reaches its peak flavor as winter approaches. Enjoying sashimi and grilled Spanish mackerel on Naro Island’s Spanish mackerel street offers an unforgettable gourmet experience.

Freshly caught black porgy sashimi from Goheung’s pristine waters captivates the palates of gourmets in autumn. Black porgy is characterized by firm flesh and a clean taste, reaching its peak flavor in autumn, and its chewy texture conveys the true taste of the Goheung sea.

The flavors of the land should not be missed either. Korean beef raised in Goheung is famous for its tender texture and rich umami flavor. Recently, restaurants offering charcoal-grilled Korean beef have increased, allowing you to spend a happy day with their special aroma.

▲Time for experiences and healing

Autumn in Goheung is not just about tasting. Various experiences await you. At Palyongsan Cypress Healing Forest, you can enjoy a healing time breathing in air full of phytoncides. Especially, the barefoot cypress trail offers an experience of becoming one with nature by walking barefoot on the red clay path.

The highlight of an autumn trip to Goheung is undoubtedly the ‘Goheung Yuzu Festival.’ Held for four days from November 7 to 10, this festival features a yuzu tasting event, Goheung’s 9 delicacies food festival, yuzu field makssam party, fireworks and drone shows, daily themed concerts, and yuzu experience programs, among various other events.

▲A travel destination full of sentiment

An autumn trip to Goheung is filled with emotional moments.

Enjoy a drive along Geumsan coastal road while admiring the beautiful coastal scenery. It’s also nice to take a break at the sentimental cafes located along the road. In particular, Geogeumdo Cheongseok Auto Camping Site boasts a magnificent view as if floating above the sea. Equipped with individual deck facilities and amenities, it offers a comfortable camping experience.

At sunset, Jungsan Sunset Observatory and Udo Rainbow Bridge become spectacular. The sea blended with the sky dyed red is truly a magnificent sight.

▲Romance under the starlight

Is there any place better than Goheung to observe the stars in the autumn night sky?

At the Goheung Space Astronomy Science Museum, you can enjoy a feast of stars under the clear autumn night sky. With an 800mm giant astronomical telescope, you can enjoy autumn constellations and Saturn. The 3D planetarium offers an experience of the mysteries of the universe, and the outdoor observatory is also a famous spot to admire the beautiful night views of Nokdong Port, Sorok Bridge, and Geogeum Bridge.

▲A journey to fully enjoy the richness of autumn

Along with the romance of starlight, savor the autumn atmosphere of Goheung. Palyongsan, one of the 100 famous mountains, welcomes you with splendid autumn foliage and evergreen trees throughout the four seasons. Climbing up and down its eight peaks while keeping the beautiful scenery of the Dadohae (Korean Archipelago) nearby is truly breathtaking.
