Haseom Observatory
하섬전망대 · Jeonbuk · Viewpoints
Haseom Observatory offers a bird’s-eye view of Haseom Island, which gets its name due to its resemblance to a lotus flower. The observatory is well-known for offering the views of sea parting, Korea’s Miracle of Moses, which occurs on the 1 st and 15 th of every month in the Lunar Calendar when the sea tides recede, revealing a 2-kilometers-long shoreline. It is famous for its abundance of clams, hence sometimes called “half clams-half mud.” The elevated location of the observatory allows visitors to enjoy the views of the wide sky and beautiful sunsets.
