Down by the Sea
I took the following photos on the southeast Korean coast from Busan to Pohang. Busan is huge commercial port, with Haeundae Beach being one of the biggest tourist spots in the country. The Jagalchi fish market is the largest on the peninsula. Outside of Busan, however, the coast is largely undeveloped as a tourist destination. Fall is cuttlefish harvesting season, and the entire coast is filled with racks of drying squid. The small, rocky islet is the "Underwater Tomb" of King Munmu. Most of the folks on the beach when I visited were there to fish. The final pictures were taken at the Homigot National Sunrise Plaza, the easternmost point in South Korea on the southern edge of Pohang harbor.
