Explore Han Jin Port: A Coastal Adventure with Local Seafood
Enjoy walking along the coastal paths of Han Jin Port and savoring fresh domestic seafood!
The 'Daejeon Love Gift Certificate' refund event runs from April 18 to October 18.
Han Jin Port is the first place you encounter when visiting Dangjin from the metropolitan area.
It often serves as the starting point for inland and seaside travel in Dangjin.
As you drive northeast along the Seohae Expressway and cross the Seohae Bridge, Han Jin Port can be seen across the sea to your right.
It takes just five minutes to reach from Songak IC.
The sea of Dangjin stretches from Han Jin Port along the Seokmun Embankment to Waemok Village.
With the Seohae Bridge in view, the sight of numerous fishing boats at anchor is charming.
There are two special attractions: the Han Jin Port fish market and the scenic walking path.
Walk along the deck path over the sea and encounter fresh seafood.
In May, Han Jin Port will host a refund event for customers purchasing domestic seafood at the fish market.
This allows you to enjoy fresh food at a more affordable price.
Han Jin Port in Songak-eup, Dangjin, faces Pyeongtaek in Gyeonggi Province across the sea.
While an industrial complex now stretches to the left of the Seohae Bridge, it was once the largest port in Dangjin for decades.
Fishing boats used to come from as far as Incheon, catching various fish like flounder, mackerel, and blue crabs.
Although its scale has diminished, dozens of boats still anchor here, continuing fishing activities, and a fish market has formed at the dock entrance.
The Han Jin Port fish market runs events from April to October, offering refunds for customers purchasing seafood.
Last autumn, similar events at Sapgyoho Fish Market received great responses, and they continue this year.
Refund event details:

In May, clams take center stage, with fresh conch, blue crabs, and rockfish available.
Clams are especially plump and tasty from April to May.
Grandmothers prepare and sell clam meat on-site, offering a delightful treat.
The Han Jin Port fish market is enjoyed alongside the coastal walking path.
Before and after your stroll, you can savor the flavors of the sea and appreciate its beauty.
The coastal walking path stretches 741 meters from the port entrance to Godea Neighborhood Park.
Since its opening in March 2024, it has been a beloved spot for leisurely seaside enjoyment.
Walk along the low hills by the sea and enjoy the surrounding scenery.
The round trip from the sandy beach at the deck path entrance to Godea Neighborhood Park takes about an hour.
With sandy gravel and rocky areas, looking up reveals a lush forest.
At the viewpoint, the Seohae Bridge feels closer, and the wind becomes intense.
Beyond the love for Dangjin and Han Jin, the blue sea sways gently.
The calm waves seem to comfort weary lives, offering a sense of warmth.
As you walk leisurely, you'll soon arrive at a viewpoint shelter, taking a step closer to the sea.
This short distance of about 1 km offers breathtaking views and can be enjoyed without pressure.
It's a great way to continue the memory of a hearty meal and can be easily recommended to others.
Is the water receding, or is it a difference in elevation?
As you approach Godea Neighborhood Park, the rocky areas of the sea become prominent.
The coastal walking path can be enjoyed alone for reflection, in pairs for conversation, or in groups for laughter.
The deck path curves beautifully along the coastline, enhancing the scenery.
When you glance back at the deck path, it gracefully stretches over the blue sea.
The coastal path continues longer along Godea Neighborhood Park's shoreline.
Beyond the L-shaped coastline of Han Jin-ri in Songak-eup, it leads to Ansam Port beyond the Asan National Industrial Complex in the Chungnam Godea district.
In May, Godea Neighborhood Park blooms with small flowers and trees along the walking path.
Benches are installed for a moment of rest.
The park is quite spacious, and I remember walking as much as on the deck path.
After a round of the park, it took over an hour to return to the Han Jin Port dock.
At Han Jin Port, you can find fresh seafood and enjoy a pleasant walking path.
The refund event for the Daejeon Love Gift Certificate runs from April to October, allowing for even more affordable seafood enjoyment.
When you think of the sea, visit Han Jin Port in Dangjin.
