Gangjin Bay

A large tidal bay and protected wetland landscape supporting reed beds, shellfish and migratory birds. This coordinate is one published shore anchor rather than the whole bay or the ecology-park entrance, so choose a named access and recheck tide, heat, wind and boardwalk condition. This catalogue page connects the stop to traveller ratings, current field reports, nearby regional anchors and sourced community corrections.

1. 01
   Before navigation

   Choose one named shore access

   Gangjin Bay is a broad tidal system. The published coordinate near Beoljeong-ri is one official bay anchor, not the ecology-park gate, every reed path or the full coastal road.

2. 02
   In daylight and suitable tide

   Observe from a public route

   Mudflat extent, birds, reeds and water level change by tide and season. Stay on open decks and roads rather than entering habitat or soft sediment.

3. 03
   Before extending toward Maryang

   Check distance and return

   The eastern coastal route and Maryang Port are separate stops. Heat, wind, traffic and sparse transport can make a broad bay drive longer than the map suggests.

• Use a tide table and a named public entrance rather than treating the broad bay coordinate as a walkable shoreline everywhere.
• Bring binoculars and keep distance from birds; never leave the public path to improve a wildlife photograph.
• Save the return route before a sunset visit because rural roads and public transport can become difficult after dark.
• Search “전남광주통합특별시 강진군 신전면 벌정리 강진만 34.5952233820 126.7701508920” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the exact entrance and return route.
• Recheck weather, trail or garden closures, last entry and seasonal conditions before departure.
• The audited coordinate identifies the named destination, but the final gate, parking area and step-free entrance still need a live route check.
