Overview

The Homibando Peninsula Coastal Trail is a picturesque trekking route that spans a remarkable 58 kilometers of Pohang's coastline, stretching from Donghae-myeon to Janggi-myeon via Guryongpo-eup and Homigot Cape. This easternmost section of the Korean Peninsula offers an opportunity to marvel at rugged cliffs and savor the soothing sounds of crashing waves as you stroll along the shoreline. The trail is divided into four distinct courses, with the third course, known as Guryongso-gil, being the lengthiest, taking approximately two hours to complete. It begins at Janggun Rock, winding its way through the Golden Rain Tree and Black Jetbead colonies, ultimately concluding at Guryongso. On the other hand, the fourth course, Homi-gil, is the shortest and starts at Eagle Rock, concluding at the picturesque Homigot Sunrise Square.
