Homigot-myeon: Goraemaeul-gil
Tucked along the rocky East Sea coast of the Homigot Peninsula, Goraemaeul-gil is a place whose character is shaped by its exposed shoreline. This small coastal road lies in Homigot-myeon, the eastern district of Pohang in North Gyeongsang Province, where low headlands and offshore rocks break up the water’s edge. The peninsula faces the East Sea, also known internationally as the Sea of Japan, and its coastal settlements remain closely tied to fishing. Further north, Homigot Sunrise Square is centred on the Hand of Harmony, a pair of bronze hands installed on land and in the sea. The monument has made Homigot a well-known place for welcoming the first sunrise of the year.

This eastern tip of Pohang is widely associated with first-sunrise celebrations, and Homigot Sunrise Plaza is marked by the Hand of Harmony, a monumental sculpture with one hand rising from the sea and another on shore. Nearby, the Homigot Lighthouse, completed in 1908, stands beside the National Lighthouse Museum, linking the peninsula’s maritime setting with Korea’s navigational heritage.
