Attraction · 강원특별자치도 양양군
휴휴암 1

영동 고속도로를 쭉 타고 강릉까지 가다가 속초방향으로 동해안고속도로를 타고 현남 IC에서 속초방향으로 약 5km 정도 가다 남애항을 지나면 강원도 양양군 현남면 광진리 7번 국도 옆에 위치한 동해의 숨겨진 비경이라 할만한 휴휴암이 나온다. 휴휴암에는 지어진 지는 10년 남짓 밖에 되지 않은 절이있고 절 뒤쪽으로 바다쪽을 내려다 보면 바다속에 거북이의 형상을 한 넓은 바위가 평상처럼 펼쳐져 있다. 또, 마치 부처가 누워있는 듯한 형상의 자연적으로 생성된 바위가 있으며, 거북형상의 바위가 마치 이 부처를 향해 절을 하고 있는 듯 신비로운 형상을 띄고 있다. 그리고, 부처상 오른쪽 절벽 위에는 중바위라고 불리는 큰 바위 두개가 나란히 있는데, 목탁을 든 채 아래의 부처상을 향하여 합장하며 절을 하고 있는 스님의 형상을 띄고있어 더욱더 경이롭다.
