Daecheon Port & Fish Market
대천항·수산시장
Boryeong's largest fishing port. Buy fresh seafood at the fish market and have it prepared upstairs. It is also the ferry terminal for West Sea islands such as Wonsando and Oeyeondo.
Daecheon Port lies on the north side of Daecheon Beach. Inside the port, the Daecheon Fish Market has many stalls where you can pick sashimi, blue crab, prawns and shellfish, then have them cooked at the restaurants on the second floor (a seasoning fee applies). Spring brings baby octopus (jukkumi), and autumn is the peak season for prawns and blue crab, with the Daecheon Port Prawn Festival held in the fall. Next to the port, the Daecheon Coastal Passenger Terminal runs ferries to Sapsido, Jangko Island, Oeyeondo and other islands. The breakwater and the red-and-white lighthouse are good places for an evening stroll and to watch the sunset. It is about 5 minutes by taxi from Daecheon Beach.
