Ttangkkeut Village, Haenam — Korea’s Southernmost Point
Koreans call this 'the land's end' — ttangkkeut literally means 'tip of the land.' Standing at Cape Songho, you're at the southernmost point of the Korean peninsula mainland, with nothing between you and Jeju Island across the Korea Strait. The village itself is quietly lived-in, not theme-parked: real fishing families, sun-dried squid on every fence, boats that actually go out each morning. A stone marker celebrates the endpoint of the 국토종단 (national traverse) that hikers complete from the northern tip. Come during the Camellia Festival (January-February) when the hills above the cape flush red while the rest of Korea is buried in snow.
