Ttangkkeut Village
땅끝마을
The southernmost cape on the Korean mainland, with a viewpoint over the island sea, a 'Land's End' monument and a monorail.
Ttangkkeut means 'land's end.' It lies in Songji-myeon, Haenam County, at the southernmost point of the Korean Peninsula. It mirrors Onseong County at the northern tip, which gives it strong symbolic meaning. Take the monorail, or walk the path up to the Ttangkkeut Observatory on Lion Peak, to view islands such as Wando and Bogildo. Then go down to the sea to photograph the Ttangkkeut monument. The village has a harbor with boats to Bogildo and Nohwado. It is about 80 minutes' drive from Mokpo. A sunrise event takes place on New Year's Day, and the observatory charges a small fee.
