Grandma and Grandpa Rocks

Grandma and Grandpa Rocks, or Halmi and Harabeoji Rocks, are unique coastal formations located in the scenic Cheonhak-dong area of Hongseong-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea. These naturally shaped rocks, resembling an elderly couple, are steeped in local folklore and provide a captivating subject for landscape photography. Positioned against the backdrop of the Yellow Sea, they are particularly striking during sunrise and sunset when the changing light enhances their dramatic silhouettes. The surrounding tidal flats also create reflective surfaces, adding depth to compositions. Easily accessible from Ggotji Beach, this location is a must-visit for photographers looking to capture Korea’s coastal beauty and mythological charm. (Hongseong-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea)
