Ancient tracks in stone
The coast of Sangjogam County Park in Goseong contains preserved footprints of dinosaurs and birds. Korea's heritage authority protects the Deongmyeong-ri fossil site as a Natural Monument. The Korea Tourism Organization records the discovery of dinosaur footprints along this shore in 1982.
Caves carved by the sea
The area's rock formations and caves are traditionally named for their resemblance to the legs of a low dining table. Enjoy the scenery, but avoid slippery or restricted rocks. This is a protected scientific site, not a free climbing area.
Tide first, trip second
An older KTO feature warns that cave access can be difficult at high tide. That 2021 article is not a 2026 tide forecast. Check actual tides, waves, weather and restrictions before leaving. A previously published park address is 42-23 Deongmyeong 5-gil, Hai-myeon, Goseong; confirm the current park entrance and parking. Museum hours and charges also require a separate check.
