Namhae Bridge
남해대교
Korea's first suspension bridge, completed in 1973, with a red deck spanning the Noryang Strait. It is a symbol of Namhae Island.
Namhae Bridge connects Hadong County with Namhae Island. It spans 660 meters, and when it opened in 1973 it was South Korea's first suspension bridge and one of the longest in East Asia at the time. The Noryang Bridge built beside it in 2018 takes over much of the traffic, and the old bridge can be walked for views. Below lies the Noryang Strait, the battlefield of the 1598 Battle of Noryang. At the south end of the bridge stands Chungnyeolsa Shrine, and cherry trees line the road in spring. Admission is free, and it is a good place to stop for photos when entering or leaving the island.
