A grassy point at the southern tip of Ulsan, poking out into the sea. A wish mailbox about 5 m tall faces the water at the entrance, with a white lighthouse and a lawn rolling out behind it. It is known for one of the earliest sunrises on the Korean mainland, so on New Year's morning the roads fill up before dawn. On an ordinary day you can stroll the coastal path in peace. It is about an hour by car from Haeundae, which makes it an easy half-day trip.
