Gamcheon Culture Village
Pastel houses climb the slopes of Gamcheon Culture Village. Use the public lighthouse photo zone for a wide view across the clustered roofs, and keep the homes and residents’ privacy in mind.
Search Google MapsHuinnyeoul Culture Village
Huinnyeoul’s narrow village route runs above the sea on Yeongdo. From the public Huinnyeoul Observatory, compose the shoreline and anchored ships together, keeping private doorways and windows out of the frame.
Search Google MapsGwangalli Beach
Gwangalli’s crescent of sand faces Gwangandaegyo Bridge. From the beach, leave enough room for both the curve of the shore and the bridge, which becomes a striking illuminated subject after dark.
Search Google MapsHaeundae Beach
Haeundae’s broad sandy beach stretches east from Dongbaekseom. Photograph along the waterline toward the western end, letting the sand lead the eye towards the island rather than filling the frame with sky.
Search Google MapsDongbaekseom Coastal Path
The coastal path on Dongbaekseom offers views towards Marine City and Gwangandaegyo Bridge. Look along the trail towards the skyline, including a piece of the rocky shoreline to anchor the buildings in their coastal setting.
Search Google MapsTaejongdae Observatory
Taejongdae combines a wooded walking route with views across a rugged coast. From the park’s observatory, include the sea and the land below for a sense of height, staying within the designated viewing area.
Search Google MapsSongdo Cloud Trails
The Songdo Cloud Trails extend from Songdo Beach over the water in straight and curving sections. Use the walkway as a leading line towards the sea. Access can be restricted in bad weather.
Search Google MapsOryukdo Skywalk
The Oryukdo Skywalk projects from a coastal cliff, with a glass floor above the water. Aim down through the transparent panels for the waves below. Weather can restrict access to the platform.
Search Google MapsCheongsapo Port
Cheongsapo Port has a pair of red and white lighthouses against the sea. From the public Green Railway walking route, look towards the harbour and include both colours in one coastal composition.
Search Google MapsDadaepo Beach
Dadaepo Beach lies where the Nakdonggang River meets the sea and is known for sunset views. From the sand, keep the horizon low and use the broad beach as foreground for the evening sky.
