If it rains

Spend less time at the beach during heavy rain and consider museum visits or an indoor break. Check weather and local restrictions before coastal activities.

Before you go

• Jeongdongjin is away from Gyeongpo and Anmok. Consider it as a separate outing if you have more time.
• Café and restaurant opening hours vary. Check the individual business and distinguish seasonal events from this suggested route.
