The Coastal City of Wando: Beaches, Seafood, Good Vibes

One comment

A trip to Wando is not a common one for a foreigner to take. Think of a cute and quaint country town with the sweetest people, but near the Sea! Wando is a beautiful province that is sure to calm the senses and satisfy the taste-buds for all of the seafood lovers out there.  More specifically, Wando County (Wando-gun) is a county in South Jeolla Province. Wando is a great place to visit during the spring and summer months because of their warm beaches, several large fresh seafood markets, and scenic farmlands.

My best experiences in Wando was definitely walking along the sandy beaches and stopping by what seems like the world’s best seafood restaurants. Sushi and Sashimi lover’s this is your calling. Try different sea creatures that you have never seen before or try a Korean Classic seafood dish; Raw Octopus (Nakk-ji). Nakk-ji is so fresh that you can still see the nerves in the tentacles wiggle. This delicacy may seem odd, but the taste is not so odd. Try it for yourself (with shots of Soju of course)!

How to get there:

The best method to get to Wando is by car or by ferry.
