Tongyeong is perhaps the country's prettiest medium-sized port and has an unbeatable location.Its unspoiled beauty and historical connections make Tongyeong, Mirukdo, the neighboring Hansando, and the surrounding waters one of the largest and most significant sections of the Hallyeosudo Marine Park. The city is inextricably tied to the sea. It has the most extensive ferry network between Busan and Yeosu, and is home port for one of the largest concentrations of fishing boats on the south coast.
