A beach framed by two rocks
Kkotji Beach in Seungeon-ri, Anmyeon-eup, Taean, is known for its broad sandy shore and Halmi and Harabi Rocks offshore. Walk to the sound of the waves and, if the weather is clear, watch the evening light shift around the pair. Sunset times and angles change with the date.
A legend of waiting
Taean County's official guide tells the story of Mido waiting for her husband Seungeon, who had sailed away. In the story, she became one rock; he later returned and became the other. This is local folklore, not verified historical evidence. Knowing the story changes how some visitors read the shapes on the horizon.
When the tide changes
The county explains that a sandbar may appear to link the rocks at low tide. That is not permission to walk across it. Tides, currents and shoreline restrictions can change quickly. Check local tidal information and obey signs rather than entering exposed sand or water for a photograph.
What to know in late autumn
The official visitor page establishes the beach as a landmark, but it does not prove that swimming is supervised or permitted in November 2026. Bring layers for the sea breeze and account for darkness after sunset. Confirm the actual parking access point and any current restrictions with Taean County before travel.
Enjoy the changing colour of the sky rather than rushing toward the water.
