Hangdo Mongdol Beach is a hidden spot where Mijo residents enjoy their leisure time. The Mongdol beach has a shallow depth, making it suitable for swimming. Moksom is considered one of Namhae's hidden scenic spots; when the tide recedes, it reveals a narrow sea path connecting the village, which is why it is called Hangdo, using the character for 'harbor'. With the pier at the center, the right side shows a sandy beach and the left side a pebble field, allowing visitors to feel the tranquility of nature at Hangdo Mongdol Beach. It is also a great place to take a walk along the coast while enjoying the ocean view.

Geumsan was originally called Bogwangsan after Wonhyo Daesa built the Bogwangsa Temple on this mountain. However, in the late Goryeo period, after Taejo Yi Seong-gye prayed for one hundred days on this mountain and then ascended the throne, it was renamed Geumsan to honor the miraculous event, meaning 'golden mountain wrapped in eternal silk.' NamSan is the only large granite mountain in the Dadohae region but strongly retains characteristics of a local mountain, forming the largest deciduous tree community on the southern coast. It is a symbolic scenic site, home to Boriam Temple, one of the nation's three major prayer centers.

이 집 장어탕은 시래기 대신 콩나물을 넣어 얼큰하게 끓인다. 쫀득한 수제비도 넣어준다. 장어구이는 소금구이와 양념구이가 있고, 모둠회는 철 따라 종류가 바뀌는데 배도라치, 감성돔, 농어, 우럭 등을 번갈아 선보인다. 다시마, 미역국수, 데친 낙지가 밑반찬으로 나온다. 부침개를 크게 한 장으로 부치지 않고 손님들이 하나씩 집어 먹을 수 있게 여러 장 내놓는다.

Hwabangsa Temple, located on the slopes of Mangunsan, is a temple built during the Silla Dynasty and is one of the three major temples of Namhae-gun, alongside Yongmunsa and Boriam. Originally called Yeonjuksa when founded, it served as a base for monk soldiers during the Imjin War, but was burned down. It was then relocated to its current site and renamed Hwabangsa. Existing buildings include Daeungjeon, Eungjinjeon, Myeongbujeon, Chilseonggak, Iljumun, and Chaejinru. Among these, Chaejinru, facing Daeungjeon, is a five-bay front by two-bay side gable roof building designated as a cultural heritage material of Gyeongsangnam-do. There is also the mountain hermitage Mangunam. Temple relics include an okjongja, a safe, and woodblocks of Admiral Yi Sun-sin's epitaph.

Namhae Bridge, the gateway to Namhae, was once called the largest suspension bridge in East Asia. The Namhae Bridge is a suspension bridge 660m long and 80m high, opened in 1973. The opening ceremony, one of the most spectacular in local government history, drew around 100,000 people, reflecting great anticipation and joy for this beautiful bridge. There was a time when walking across the red Namhae Bridge was considered a symbol of luck, and it has been loved as a destination for school trips and honeymoons. It is the site of the final battle of the Imjin War, the Battle of Noryang. Before the bridge was built, Namhae residents had to cross the Noryang waters by ferry or rowboat. Crossing the Namhae Bridge leads to Namhaegak, a rest area where you can enjoy views of the bridge, surrounded by cherry blossom tunnels. Nearby attractions include Namhae Chungnyeolsa and Namhae Cheokhwabi.
