Jukbyeon Port, along with Hupo Port, is one of the major fishing ports on the East Coast located in the northern part of Uljin. It was designated as a national fishing port on December 29, 1995. It is especially known for abundant catches of squid, mackerel, saury, sandfish, and flatfish, and is famous as the largest snow crab fishing port in South Korea. Reflecting its large and varied seafood catches, many seafood processing factories line the area around Jukbyeon Port. Every November, the Jukbyeon Port Seafood Festival is held, offering fresh seafood and a variety of entertainment. Events such as barehanded live fish catching are also held during the festival.

This entire white sand beach is sometimes called Bongpyeong Beach, stretching about 10 km. Nearby are filming locations for the drama and the variety show .

Mangyangjeong Pavilion, one of the Gwandong Palgyeong (Eight Scenic Views of the East), was originally located on a beach hill in Mangyang-ri, Giseong-myeon during the Goryeo period. During the Joseon Sejong era, Chae Shinbo moved it to the foothill of Hyeonjongsan in Mangyang-ri, stating the pavilion was old and worn. After being damaged by a storm in 1517, it was rebuilt in 1518 (the 13th year of King Jungjong) when Anryeomsa Yoon Heein requested the Pyeonghae County Governor Kim Sewoo to restore it. In 1860 (the 11th year of King Cheoljong), Uljin Governor Lee Heeho, along with county officer Im Hakyoung, relocated it to its current site in Dunsan-dong, Sanpo-ri, Geunnam-myeon. The pavilion sits on a hill overlooking the Wangpicheon River flowing in front of Seongryugul Cave and offers a panoramic view of the vast East Sea waves. It is considered the best scenic spot among the Gwandong Palgyeong, and King Sukjong honored it with a calligraphic plaque titled 'Gwandong Jeilru'. Poems by Kings Sukjong and Jeongjo, as well as writings by Jeong Chu, Jeong Cheol, and Chae Su about Mangyangjeong survive to this day.
