The West Sea is full of things that 'Donghae' does not have. The arithmetic depth does not match the East Sea, but it is deeper than any deep sea when approaching the chest. Not the hot and energetic sunrise of the East Sea, but the relaxing and calm afternoon colors, and the scenery like relaxation at sunset at dusk. . Unlike the rough and cool East Sea, the West Sea is full of calmness and calmness, and the West Sea is filled with the smell of the depths of our lives.
Taean, which has been known as a peaceful and comfortable town since ancient times, is a representative tourist spot on the west coast that retains the beauty of the west sea. The wonderful beach path spreads casually, and you can enjoy the spectacular sunset from anywhere. The picturesque scenery that unfolds with numerous islands in harmony shows why this is Taeanhaean National Park.

There are two parking spaces for the disabled and one parking area for pregnant women in the closest to the exhibition hall, and there are wide and gentle slopes at the entrances of the first and second exhibition halls.
Seashell hat decoration experience
Another advantage is that there is no step inside the exhibition hall. However, the ramp going down from the second exhibition hall to the yard needs some help from Gapala assistants.
Museum courtyard tuho amusement facilities
There are two wheelchairs and two strollers for rent, and there is a toilet for both men and women with disabilities in the first exhibition hall.
Exhibition Hall 1 Disabled Toilet
Anmyeonsong Healing Spot, Anmyeondo Natural Recreation Forest

Sol Forest Trail
Pine trees native to Anmyeondo are especially called 'Anmyeonsong' and have been in the spotlight as luxury pine trees since ancient times.

'Café Isle' on Kkotji Beach is a romantic place with a wide window full of beautiful West Sea.
Cafe Isle with ramps
It is a small cafe with only three or four tables, but the sea through the window is wider and greener than anywhere else.
Inside the cafe with both sides of glass
If the day is good, it is better to enjoy the calm West Sea without clogging. There seems to be no place like this because of the rest during the trip.
Cafe Isle's Outdoor Terrace

There is a parking space right in front of the cafe entrance, and a ramp is installed on the way to the cafe. There is no chin on the door, so it is easy to go in and out, and there is no problem in moving inside the cafe, which is not spacious. However, there is a small gravel on the floor of the parking lot, so an assistant is needed when entering the cafe from the car. The toilet has a chin and is narrow, so it is difficult to use it while in a wheelchair.

Flower Island Beach in front of Cafe Isle
The sunset of Kkotji Beach to be seen once in a lifetime
There is a saying that 'the person who has seen a lot of the scenery that is falling is really rich'. Flower garden is one of the three sunset spots in Korea.

CNN was also considered a beautiful place to visit in Korea.
Grandmother and Grandmother Rock Information Board
The sunset scenery that falls over the grandmother's rock and the grandmother's rock, conveyed by the sad legend of Mido, the wife who became a mess while waiting for the return of the soldiers and the return of a soldier, is a masterpiece.
The sun falling to the side of the grandmother's rock
There is a two-lane road between the parking lot and the coastal park overlooking the Ghalmi-Habibi Rock, so be careful of vehicles when crossing.

The road from Sinduri Sand Dune Center to the sand dune entrance
The animals and plants inhabiting here, such as Gojiri-sacho, Gaegyeongryeong, Sunbiki, gourd dust worm, ant ghost, 삵, and baby hornbill, are more unusual because they are rarely seen.
Rooftop of Sinduri Sand Dune Center
It is a good idea to visit the Sinduri Sand Dunes Center at the entrance before visiting the coastal sand dunes.
Sinduri Sand Dunes and Course A Trail
After exploring the sand dune center, go to the back gate, and the trail leads.
A course deck with sea and coastal dunes at a glance

Herb Shop Studio
Even if there is not enough space for a wheelchair, it is enough to have a time of healing while admiring the pretty garden.
Road from ticket office to garden
It is a pity that most of the 12 charming gardens are located on a hilltop and cannot be explored in a wheelchair.
Herb Shop Studio
There is no step on the road between the gardens, but it is slightly uncomfortable to move in a wheelchair because it has a green Pytex flooring instead of pavement. Activity assistants are required.
Castle Garden with an impressive pyrancan fruit
