The beach's most striking feature is the magnificent sunset view framed between Halmi Rock and Harabi Rock. With no viewing fees, it has become a beloved spot for budget-friendly day trips.
As the sun sets in September's clear autumn sky, the horizon is painted with vibrant orange hues, creating a picturesque scene reminiscent of a watercolor painting. To avoid the weekend crowds, arriving an hour before sunset to park in the beach's free parking lot and enjoy a leisurely stroll is a great tip.
During low tide, a rocky path emerges, providing a unique walking experience.

Twice a day at low tide, a pebble path leads to Halmi and Harabi Rocks, offering a different kind of stroll. Visitors can slowly walk along the exposed rocky path, observing the natural formations shaped by millions of years, making it a must-visit spot for memorable photos.
Especially in early September, capturing photos against the backdrop of the setting sun between the rocks will yield stunning shots. Checking the tide schedule before visiting will enhance your coastal trekking experience.

After exploring Kkotji Beach, crossing the Kkot Bridge to reach the nearby Bangpo Port is very convenient. The Bangpo Port seafood market, within walking distance, offers a variety of fresh seasonal seafood like shrimp and crabs from the West Coast.
Additionally, planning a visit to the Anmyeondo Natural Recreation Forest or Kkotji Arboretum, located just 10-15 minutes away by car, creates a perfect day trip itinerary that combines both mountains and sea. In September, as autumn unfolds, embark on a sunset journey filled with emotions at Kkotji Beach in Taean with your loved ones.
As the red sunset paints the horizon, the romantic atmosphere of Kkotji Beach washes away the fatigue of city life. On a pleasant and refreshing autumn day in September, we recommend creating special memories in Anmyeondo.
