방어진항 · Ulsan · Beaches & islands

Bangeojin Port, designated as a national fishing port in 1971, is Ulsan's representative fishing port, with a large site for a fisheries cooperative's commission and an auction house. Various fish species, such as yellowtail, cutlassfish, Spanish mackerel, and anchovies, are caught. You can purchase fresh seafood from a nearby fish market or sashimi restaurant and enjoy it immediately. · The promenade along the breakwater reaches Seuldo Lighthouse, an excellent photo spot, and the sea road leading to Bangeojin Port, Daewangam Park, Ulgi Lighthouse, and Ilsan Beach also boasts romantic scenery. Recently, to revitalize tourism resources, murals and floor designs for the northern breakwater, parking lots, etc., were developed, and a village museum, the Bangeojin Museum, was opened. It serves as a resting place for Ulsan citizens and provides many attractions for tourists.
