Beopseong was known as a good place to live because it was not only a major fish market (pasi) due to the abundant croaker caught in the Chilseon sea but also had a warehouse that stored grains from 12 different counties, with 715 households in 1895, larger than Yeonggwang-eup. Inside the fortress, there were Confucian schools (hyanggyo), three gate towers, Dongjoru, a military flag repository (gungi-go), Jinchang, Hwansanggo, Jobokgo, Bingheojeong, Bokgochang, and Gungichang. However, after numerous upheavals including the Donghak Peasant Revolution and the Imjin War, most structures burned down, leaving only traces of the fortress surrounding Jinnae-ri village, the roof of the military flag repository at the pier, and two wells. Beopseong was an important naval base and a key point for tax collection and transportation during the Joseon Dynasty, with many historical events preceding this era.

The spread of Buddhism on the Korean Peninsula during the Three Kingdoms Period is clear in Goguryeo (in the 2nd year of King Sosurim under the Jin general Buyeon) and Silla (during King Nulji Maripgan with the monk Mukhoja), with clear routes of transmission and initial preaching sites, but the transmission route and first arrival site of Baekje Buddhism were unclear. It has been orally passed down that the Indian monk Marananta Jonja came to Beopseongpo in Yeonggwang, preached Buddhism, and founded Beopgapsa Temple, marking the start of Baekje Buddhism. In 1998, academic verification by Yeonggwang-gun (Dongguk University) established that Yeonggwang land is the first arrival site of Baekje Buddhism. Beopseongpo Jawoo-du is the place where Indian monk Marananta first set foot in Baekje in A.D. 384, coming via the Eastern Jin dynasty of China, and it is being developed as a tourist attraction to commemorate this. The 'Beop' (法) in Beopseongpo refers to Buddhism, and 'Seong' (聖) refers to the saint Marananta. * Site area - 45,439㎡ (13,745 pyeong)

Baeksu Coastal Road extends 16.8 km from Gilyong-ri to Baegam-ri Seokgumi Village in Baeksu-eup, Yeonggwang-gun. It is a representative drive route along the West Coast where dramatic rock formations, vast mudflats, and blazing sunsets create a magnificent landscape. Especially notable is the 3.5 km Sunset Coast Trail, a wooden deck walkway below the coastal road, allowing visitors to walk near the sea and enjoy beautiful scenery. It was selected as one of Korea's 100 Beautiful Roads by the Ministry of Construction and Transportation in 2006 and won the grand prize at the 1st Korea Natural Scenic Award by the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs in 2011, reflecting outstanding evaluations. It also features Korea’s only Sunset Exhibition Hall, along with various pensions and restaurants. (Source: Yeonggwang-gun Culture and Tourism)
