The forest ecological cultural park located within the Yeongdeok wind power complex offers a unique view of wind turbines that never stop turning beyond dense forest trails. This site was restored over seven years after a large forest fire occurred in 1997 and was developed into an ecological neighborhood park. Now, it is hard to believe that a fire once occurred here, as you can experience lush green nature. Most of the walking paths are gentle flatlands, suitable for anyone to walk comfortably, and cool breezes blow even in midsummer. At the park entrance, a pond planted with lotus flowers allows visitors to enjoy the enchanting beauty of lotus blossoms in mid-summer. Around the pond, wooden benches designed in the shape of crabs, the symbol of Yeongdeok, attract attention as resting spots. Beyond the red crab-shaped benches, the scenery where trees, pond, sky, and wind turbines harmonize naturally evokes admiration.

영덕 해안도로는 영덕대게로라고도 불리고 있으며, 강구항~축산항~고래불해수욕장에 이르는 약 33㎞의 도로 구간이다. 영덕 해안도로는 옆쪽으로 동해의 푸른 바다가 끝없이 펼쳐져 드라이브를 하며 감상할 수가 있다. 영덕 해안도로가 시작되는 강구항은 대게로 유명하며, 해안도로 중간에는 영덕 해맞이공원이 있어 같이 연계하여 관광하기 좋다. 강구항에서 축산항까지의 도로 구간을 영덕 사람들은 별도로 강축해안도로라고 부르고 있다. 축산항의 해안도로 옆으로는 기암절벽과 바다가 어울려 펼쳐지기 때문에 강구항과는 또 다른 아름다운 풍경을 자아낸다. 해안도로의 끝은 고래가 하얀 분수를 뿜으며 놀았다고 전해지는 고래불해수욕장이다.

Located along the coast where the wind is strong throughout the year, the Yeongdeok Wind Power Complex was built in Changpo-ri, Yeongdeok-eup, Yeongdeok-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do. It is situated on the hill above Yeongdeok's famous tourist site, Haemaji Park. The area measures 166,117㎡ and contains 24 wind turbines producing an annual output of 96,680 MWh, enough to power about 20,000 households, which equals the total annual electricity consumption of Yeongdeok residents. Inside the complex are the Yeongdeok Renewable Energy Center, Windmill Park, children's playground, aircraft exhibition hall, and an auto camping site. It is also connected to Yeongdeok Blue Road Course A, offering trekking with views of the East Sea. The turbines, about 80m tall with each blade measuring 41m long, are located on a hill overlooking the sea and have become a rising sunrise attraction. Nearby tourist spots include Ganggu Port, Samsa Marine Park, and Yeongdeok Snow Crab Original Village.
