Ocheon Port
Korean name: 오천항
Chungnam
Ocheon Port sits where the Gwangcheoncheon Stream flows into Cheonsu Bay on the West Sea. It has long been a hub of life in northern Boryeong and remains a working fishing port today.
About
Ocheon Port is located where the Gwangcheoncheon Stream meets Cheonsu Bay. Ocheon once hosted the Boryeong Chungcheong Naval Fortress and was the center of daily life in northern Boryeong. Its former glory has faded over time, but the port still serves as a major fishing port in the Cheonsu Bay area.
Because it lies deep inside the bay, the natural conditions are so favorable that no breakwater is needed, and many fishing boats are moored along the long pier. Nearby Ocheon Market offers a variety of seafood, including pen shells, a specialty hard to find elsewhere, and fist-sized mussels.
Ferries to nearby islands such as Woldo and Yukdo depart from the Ocheon Port Passenger Terminal.
