Yudal Recreation Area
유달유원지 · Jeonnam · Neighbourhoods & streets
Yudal Recreation Area, located beneath Yudalsan Mountain, has been developed into a tourist destination and a relaxation space for Mokpo citizens through the renovation of the area around the former Daebandong Beach. Although the beach is currently closed and swimming is not allowed, visitors can enjoy views of Mokpo Bridge, one of the city’s landmarks, as well as the distinctive dragon head of Gohado Island. The maritime cable car running between Yudalsan Mountain and Gohado Island offers stunning vistas of the surrounding sea. In front of the recreation area, yachts gently floating on the water create a unique coastal scene, complemented by well-equipped facilities such as cafes and restaurants. Additionally, a well-maintained seaside path allows visitors to enjoy a pleasant walk along the shore without the discomfort of sand.
