Kkotji Beach

꽃지

Choose Kkotji’s sandy shore for views of Halmi and Halabi rocks, or the established bridge connection to Bangpo Harbour. Plan the return journey before staying for sunset.

Plan your visit

Choose the beach or the harbour bridge

Kkotji’s beach looks out towards Halmi and Halabi rocks. Kkotdari Bridge links the beach side with Bangpo Harbour and offers another view of the coast from an established walking connection.

  • A shore walk and sunset view

    See Halmi and Halabi rocks from the beach

    Start at Kkotji Beach car park, main-gate area 꽃지해수욕장 주차장 정문 부근

    Walk from the car park to the sandy shore and look out towards the two rock formations. The western view is a reason to visit near sunset, but leave enough time for your onward journey. View the rocks from the beach and established paths, respecting local barriers and access signs.

    Taean County reported a partial collapse of Halabi Rock in October 2025 and installed access restrictions. Do not plan a walk out to, or climb on, the rocks.

    Find the bus to Kkotji Beach

  • A bridge view over the harbour entrance

    Kkotdari Bridge towards Bangpo Harbour

    Start at Kkotdari Bridge between Kkotji Beach and Bangpo Harbour 꽃지해수욕장과 방포항을 잇는 꽃다리

    Use the established bridge connection between Kkotji and Bangpo Harbour for another view of the shore and sea. Return by the same bridge after looking around the harbour side, allowing time to reach the car-park bus stop. This local outing does not require walking the full coastal trail.
