Tourist attraction
Jeoryeong Coastal
650-4 Yeongseon-dong 4(sa)-ga, Yeongdo-gu, Busan
Cliffside seaside path where women divers still surface with the day's catch off wave-facing tables.
This guide to the Jeoryeong Coastal path in Busan follows the haenyeo, the free-diving women of Yeongdo's Namhang fishing village, who still work these waters without wetsuits or oxygen tanks. It traces the shoreline's decades as a restricted military zone before the path finally opened to walkers in 2001, and the lit tunnel and second haenyeo village further along the route. Sit at the plastic tables facing the water, where the divers sell what they hauled up that same morning.
