    DAY-OF PLAN

    Know the sequence before you go.

    Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
    1. 01
      Confirm today's actual coastal window

      Standard hours are listed as 9:00 AM-5:00 PM with final entry at 4:30 PM, but tide, waves and weather can move the opening window or close the coast completely.

    2. 02
      Enter only after the safety line opens

      Check the Seogwipo public-attraction channel @6sot_official or call 064-794-2940, then follow the current gate and staff direction.

    3. 03
      Keep a dry-land geotrail fallback

      The roughly 700 m coastal section normally takes about 30 minutes, but wet rock and a closing tide require an early retreat. Sanbangsan-area stops can remain usable when the coast is closed.

    TRAVELER FAQ

    Answers worth checking before you leave.

    Is Yongmeori Coast open every day from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM?

    No. Those are standard hours only. Tide, waves and weather can shorten the window or close the coast for the entire day.

    Does a closed Yongmeori gate mean the whole Sanbangsan geotrail area is closed?

    Not necessarily. The controlled tidal coast is one section. Confirm the status of each dry-land route or attraction separately.

    Are the operating details for Sanbangsan–Yongmeori Geotrail live?

    The displayed guidance was checked August 29, 2026, but it is not a live operator feed. Open the linked official guide and a Korean map again on the day because hours, closures, tickets and transport can change.

    Can a traveller correct this page?

    Yes. Submit a sourced community wiki correction or a current field report; proposed facts are reviewed before becoming canonical information.

    1. 01
      On the morning of travel

      Confirm today's actual coastal window

      Standard hours are listed as 9:00 AM-5:00 PM with final entry at 4:30 PM, but tide, waves and weather can move the opening window or close the coast completely.

      At Yongmeori entrance

      Enter only after the safety line opens

      Check the Seogwipo public-attraction channel @6sot_official or call 064-794-2940, then follow the current gate and staff direction.

    3. 03
      Before walking away from the exit

      Keep a dry-land geotrail fallback

      The roughly 700 m coastal section normally takes about 30 minutes, but wet rock and a closing tide require an early retreat. Sanbangsan-area stops can remain usable when the coast is closed.

    4. Traveler tips

    • Check the live access window immediately before driving; an old tide screenshot cannot account for waves or staff control.
    • Wear footwear with grip and keep both hands free on wet, narrow rock rather than treating the coast as a flat promenade.
    • Build the day so Yongmeori can be attempted first and replaced by Sanbangsan or another dry-land stop if the gate remains closed.
    • Search “산방산 용머리해안 지질트레일” 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 catalogue coordinate is an approximate centre pin, not turn-by-turn entrance guidance.
