The Korea Fisheries Infrastructure Public Agency 8 fishing-village experience and recreation villages nationwide 11 villages were selected and introduced. The agency said the selection reflected growing demand for “chon-cations,” combining relaxation and experiences while staying in nature.

The list includes Sonjuk Village in Yeosu, South Jeolla Province, Bongam Village in Tongyeong, South Gyeongsang Province, and Yudong Village on Yokjido Island in Tongyeong, reached by boat from the mainland. Sonjuk Village is located along the route to Geomundo.
Following the coastal cliffs and unusual rock formations, visitors reach the seaside village of Sonjukdo. Fishing experiences are popular because the area is rich in fish species such as black porgy, rockfish and greenling. Visitors can try trap fishing, catching turban shells and rock fishing.
Bonam Village is located on Chubongdo Island near Hansando. After taking a boat from Tongyeong Port and passing Hansando, visitors can find lodgings operated by local residents and marine ecology experience programs. Tourism activities that let visitors enjoy the sound of waves at Mongdol Beach were also introduced.
The corporation highlighted experiential programs in each village, including island experiences, marine leisure, camping, and local lodgings. Those interested can check the experience offerings and reservation methods for each village on the corporation’s website.
