A small fishing harbor, developed from 1984 and home to about 70 boats. You can walk out along the breakwaters to the lighthouses at either end, past tetrapods painted in bright colors. Anglers fish for flounder from the breakwater or on small charter boats, and seafood restaurants line the road behind the port.

까막바위
A black rock just offshore, named for the crows (kkamagwi) said to have nested on it; it is also said to lie due east of Namdaemun gate in Seoul. According to local legend, a village headman of the Joseon era was reborn as an octopus to drive off Japanese pirates and still lives in a cave beneath the rock. An octopus statue on the shore marks the story.

묵호등대
First lit in 1963, the lighthouse stands on a hill 67 m above the sea and looks down on Mukho Port. The present 24-m tower, rebuilt in 2007, has an observation deck just below the lantern, and its light can be seen up to 48 km out at sea. The plaza in front has a small exhibition on lighthouses and a monument to the 1968 film Miwodo Dasi Hanbeon, which was shot here.
도째비골 해랑전망대
A footbridge that runs out over the sea, with sections of glass and steel-mesh floor so you can watch the waves break beneath your feet. It stays closed in bad weather.
논골담길
Four steep lanes (Deungdaeoreum-gil and Nongol 1-, 2- and 3-gil) climb from the harbor to Mukho Lighthouse through a fishing village where people still live. The walls are covered in murals and short poems about life in the port in its busier days. There is no parking in the lanes, and they are not suitable for wheelchairs.
