Janghang Songnim Natural Recreation Forest features dense pine trees along 1.5 km of coastline, offering a serene place for a stroll throughout the year.

Today, approximately 12,000 Gomsong (haesong) trees grow naturally. It was designated a National Forest Cultural Asset by the Korea Forest Service in 2019 and became a natural recreation forest in 2021.
