A unique peninsula-shaped park in Korea, where mountains and seas blend together.

It is divided into Naebyeonsan, a mountainous area, and Oebyeonsan, centered around the coast.

Naebyeonsan boasts stunning scenery with numerous mountains, large and small, and over 10 waterfalls centered around Uisangbong Peak.

Oebyeonsan, which stretches along the coastline, exudes the fragrance of the sea with its Chaeseokgang and Jeokbyeokgang.

Byeonsanbando National Park is particularly famous for its beautiful sunsets.

Chaeseokgang is a sedimentary rock that accumulated from the Cretaceous period, about 70 million years ago,

and was eroded by seawater, forming the Geopori Formation.

It is composed of conglomerate over conglomerate and sandstone, alternating layers of sandstone and mudstone, shale, and volcanic ash.

This sedimentary environment suggests that this area was once a deep lake,

and that volcanic eruptions deposited material on the lake floor.

Also, faults, folds, intrusive structures, and abrasion platforms can be easily observed in this cliff,

which is good for studying topography and geology.

Sea cliffs formed by wave erosion, flat abrasion platforms, and sea caves have also developed.

Potholes, a product of the joint efforts of the earth's crust and waves, have developed at the bottom of Chaeseokgang.

Tide pools, where seawater trapped during high tide remains, are also scattered around the area.
