Hi, I’m Tabi!

Begin with Yeongil Bay’s beach or the canal in Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk. Guryongpo is another part of the same city and needs a separate travel and return plan.

This guide covers places within Pohang, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Three places to begin

Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Follow marked waterfront paths around Yeongildae Beach for sea and pavilion views. Respect swimming and access signs, and avoid an outing in poor weather. Plan separate visits to the canal and Guryongpo.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check current entry rules, opening information and return transport.
  • Choose an outing suited to steps, slopes and weather.
  • Respect local access and photography rules; check food ingredients at the shop.
