Overview

Haseom Observatory offers a bird’s-eye view of Haseom Island, which gets its name due to its resemblance to a lotus flower. The observatory is well-known for offering the views of sea parting, Korea’s Miracle of Moses, which occurs on the 1st and 15th of every month in the Lunar Calendar when the sea tides recede, revealing a 2-kilometers-long shoreline. It is famous for its abundance of clams, hence sometimes called “half clams-half mud.” The elevated location of the observatory allows visitors to enjoy the views of the wide sky and beautiful sunsets.
