This description was machine-translated from the Korea Tourism Organization's Korean original.

Dara Park is a coastal scenic park at the southern tip of Mireukdo Island in Sanyang-eup, Tongyeong-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, located midway along the Sanyang Circumferential Road. The road to the park offers outstanding sea views and is counted among Tongyeong’s finest driving courses, and you can enjoy the scenery of the Hallyeo Waterway even before arriving at the park. The name Dara was given because the terrain is said to resemble an elephant’s molar, and today it is also interpreted as meaning “a good place for moon viewing.” Around the park there is a road lined with camellia street trees, a stretch where you can walk and enjoy the scenery at the same time, also called Dongbaengno (Camellia Road). Inside the park stands a pavilion called Gwanhaejeong, providing a space to rest while looking out over the sea. Beyond the pavilion, islands of various sizes spread out, and dozens of islands—including Daejangjaedo, Sojangjaedo, Jeodo, Songdo, Hangnimdo, Gonrido, Yeondaedo, Manjido, Okgokdo, and Chudo—can be seen at a glance. In particular, this is a representative viewpoint of the Hallyeo Waterway visited by many tourists. Dara Park is known as one of the places with the most beautiful sunset scenery in Tongyeong. From the sunset observation deck installed at the top of the park, you can enjoy the finest views around 30 minutes before and after sunset, and the harmony of the islands and sea dyed in red light and sunset glow is beautiful.
