Plan your visit

Choose the sandy shore or a coastal garden visit

Mallipo combines a wide beach, pines and west-coast sunset views. Chollipo Arboretum is a separate garden destination beyond the beach, with its own entrance and admission arrangements.

  • Sand, pines and sunset

    Mallipo’s beach and waterfront

    Start at Mallipo Beach access, 138 Mallipo 2-gil 만리포해수욕장 · 소원면 만리포2길 138

    Begin at the village’s beach access and choose a walk beside the broad sandy shore. Pine woods stand behind the coast, and the open western view makes an evening visit appealing. Check the tide and your return bus before deciding how long to stay.
