Igari Anchor Observatory
이가리 닻 전망대
A viewing platform shaped like a ship’s anchor reaching out to sea, with clear blue water and rocky reefs below. It is a popular stop for drivers along the east coast.
The Igari Anchor Observatory is on the seaside in Cheonghae-myeon, in Pohang’s North District. It opened in 2019 and is shaped like a giant ship’s anchor. The deck extends about 100 meters out over the sea, and at the end you can look down on the clear water and the rocky reefs along the coast. It connects to the Igari Coastal Trail nearby. Entry is free, it is open all day, and it is lit at night. It is about 30 kilometers from Pohang’s city center, and it is a good stop for those driving north along National Route 7 on the east coast, though public transport is limited.
