It’s just a filming location for Drana! It's great for taking pictures and taking a walk in the middle of the beach at night.

It's quiet perhaps because the weather is cold.The surrounding sea view is good, and the sunset is especially beautiful. There are many raw fish restaurants nearby, so it is a place where you can enjoy fresh raw fish and meals. The coastal rainbow road is also great to drive~^^!!

Sacheon Daepo Port was designated as a local fishing port in July 1992 and is managed by Sacheon City.The main fish species are gizzard shad, and oysters and clams are said to be the main sources of income. This workThe reason why the fishing port emerged as a hot place is because of the drama Crash Landing on You that aired in 2019, and in 2021 (estimated), installation artist Choi Byung-soo's work 'When Longing is Colored' will be erected at the end of the breakwater, attracting people of all ages and genders from all over the country. It is a tourist attraction that is frequently visited without any reason.Rumors spread, especially among lovers.It is also a photo zone where people can take shots, creating a scene where people wait in line.The work, 'When Longing Is Colored', is a steel installation with a total height of about 6m, showing the side of a woman's face with a crescent moon on her head. The work is fantastically harmonized with the scenery of the surrounding blank space.It brings great resonance and emotion to people's hearts. Moreover, this area is a famous sunset spot.I think it would be difficult to express in words the work you see at sunset. It creates a scenery that is so beautiful and one can enjoy contemplation. If you want to enjoy this place twice, you can also drive by car.It's good, but at the entrance of the rainbow coastal roadPark and walk about 2.6km to Daepo Port.As you walk, you will see Floating Pier, Seokbang-gil, Sacheon Naval Battle, Turtle Village, and Daepo Port Observatory, filled with longing.We highly recommend a walking course while enjoying the scenery extending all the way to the breakwater. alsoThe coastal protection wall starting from the rainbow-colored coastal road is decorated in seven colors.There is a truly fantastic photo zone that extends all the way to Daepo Port. It is said that the taste of oysters, clams, and especially shad, which are the main foods of Daepo Port, is excellent, so if you feel hungry, it is a small gift for local residents to have a meal here for the development of the region.I think it might be helpful. If you want to walk a little further, you can even go to the Silan Coastal Road, so visiting it at least once can revitalize your life and create a page of wonderful memories.There are small parking lots all over the place from the Rainbow Coastal Road to Daepo Port, and there is a fairly large parking lot at Daepo Port, so you won't have any inconveniences with parking. Admission and parking are both free.

Frankly, I reckoned that not only Sacheon is a bit far from my place but also there aren't something good ones I'm able to look around.However, as unexpected there're lots of beautiful spots to enjoy the free times.Firstly, I headed to Daepohang of Sacheon where was chosen for the romantic drama 'Clash landing on you' which main role was Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin. Meanwhile, I've never watched it though, haha~Have you ever been watched it?I've heard that the drama was high ranked on Netflix.Well, back to the story, finally I found the beautiful steel artwork at the end of seawall as I uploaded.It was very simple but fully enough to attach my mind.I thought that I have to come again later to get some pics for taking sunset moment.
