Picture of the Day: Boryeong Mud Festival Starts
A tourist enjoys a mud slide at the Daecheon Beach Mud Plaza in Boryeong on South Korea’s western coast on July 25, 2025, after the annual Boryeong Mud Festival opened. Boryeong mud is known to be rich in minerals and to help prevent skin aging. (Yonhap)
Never actually been to the mud beach (not a fan of literally unwashed masses); but just southwest of there is Daecheon. Great seafood markets and restaurants near the southwest point. Get the seafood nearly right off the boats. Highly recommended.
The other seafood market in town is at least double in price but has better parking and as far as we could tell, no nearby restaurants.
