Cheonbuk Oyster Village
천북굴단지
A street of oyster grill shacks along Cheonsu Bay in northern Boryeong. In winter, whole pots of grilled oysters with sea views are the signature local food experience.
Cheonbuk Oyster Village is located at Jangeun-ri in Cheonbuk-myeon, on the shore of Cheonsu Bay. Dozens of oyster shacks line the coast. From about November to February, the bay's oysters are at their best. The most popular dish is a whole pot of grilled oysters in their shells (gul-gui), and there are also oyster rice, oyster kalguksu (knife-cut noodles) and oyster pancakes. Each dish costs about 30,000-40,000 won and is good for sharing. A Cheonbuk Oyster Festival is held around December each year. Most shops close in summer. It is about a 40-minute drive from Daecheon city center.
