5. Haeneom-i Cafe (해넘이 카페)
This place is located just beside the park, but we have to take the rightest way to go there. Relax for a moment with a cold drink and cake while looking up at the bright clouds. In this cafe, there is a 'Stairs to Heaven', one of the photo zones with Oido Beach and sky background. It is also look prettier on sunset time.
Ah ya, you may also take a picnic theme here, actually my friend and I wanted to take a picnic set here, but we cancelled our plan because the sun was too hot at that time.
