Gangneung Port

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

A port located in Songjeong-dong, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do. Until May 2008 it was called Anmok Port and was then renamed. Until the late Joseon period it was an island called Gyeonjodo, and it has now become a tied island (land-connected island). Situated downstream of Namdaecheon, Gangneung’s major river, the port is distinctive for its white sandy beach. It is a good place for fishing, as sweetfish, mullet, anchovy, and mackerel are caught in abundance. Along the coast, squid, flounder, octopus, and other species are also harvested.
