Course Overview
This route follows Geoje Island's eastern coast for approximately 28 km from Baram-ui Eondeok (Wind Hill) to Haegeumgang. The 3.5 km stretch from Yeocha to Hongpo village is considered one of Geoje's top 9 scenic spots, with blue seas and dramatic cliffs below.
From late February to early March, camellia forests paint the coastal road red, while summer brings deep blue waters. Wind Hill and Sinseondae offer walking paths with archipelago panoramas.
