Byeonsanbando National Park
Byeonsanbando is a coastal national park on a peninsula west of Jeonju, combining forested mountain trails with a dramatic stretch of coastline, most famously the layered sedimentary rock cliffs at Chaeseokgang, which resemble stacked books and are best seen at low tide when the rock platform is exposed. Temples, waterfalls, and viewpoints are scattered through the inland mountain sections as well.
Because the park mixes both mountain and coastal elements spread over a wide area, it's worth deciding in advance whether you're prioritizing a coastal walk (Chaeseokgang and nearby beaches) or inland hiking, since covering both fully in one visit is a stretch.
