Destination briefing
Why travelers stop here
Gangjin County has a climate and topography that make it rich in seafood, particularly producing large quantities of croaker, hairtail, seaweed, and shellfish. Among these, the clams and cockles are considered local specialties. These are easily found in Gangjin's markets. In particular, in the Gangjin Bay area, clams and cockles are cultivated, and the tidal flats in this region are known as an ideal natural environment for clam farming. Gangjin eel has also been famous for a long time, especially near the mouth of the Tamjin River, where the water depth and temperature are highly suitable for eel habitation, and the eels caught in this area are exceptionally delicious.
