Hwaseong Golden Coastal Trail
Hwaseong City's official visitor guide describes a 17 km coastal walking route from Jebu Marina to Gungpyeong Port. The trail is temporarily open, in three independently accessible sections of 5.0, 4.5 and 7.5 km. Some passages are time-restricted.
- Address
- Gungpyeong-ri 511-2, Seosin-myeon, Manse-gu, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, is a Gungpyeong-side reference point, not the single entrance to the 17 km route.
- Nearby transit
- Pick a starting point for your section, such as Jebu Marina, Songgyo-ri, Gongsaeng Salt Field or Gungpyeong Port, before checking same-day public transport connections.
- Hours
- Temporarily open, not unrestricted around the clock. A part of Section 2's coastal boardwalk is closed on weekdays after 17:30 for military security and pedestrian safety; use the designated detour. Check the tides when connecting to Jebudo's tidal road. Conditions may change.
The city's detailed page identifies each section and safety rules. As checked on October 29, 2026, it described the trail as temporarily open; access may change.
