Know the sequence before you go.

Use quiet voices, modest clothing and public paths. Ask before photographing halls, ceremonies, monastics or worshippers.

Recheck wind, waves and barriers
Sea spray and sudden waves can make the Orangdae edge unsafe. Stay behind closures and do not move across wet rocks for a photograph.

Visit the temple quietly first and treat any coastal viewpoint as an optional weather-dependent extension.
Do not use the hero image to navigate to the rocks; it documents the entrance gate only.
Keep tripods, drones and group photography away from worship and traffic circulation unless explicitly permitted.
Search “해광사 기장해안로 340” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the exact entrance and return route.
Hours, admission, closures and programme schedules can change; use the official source before departure.
