Summary
Since the geographical shape of the mountain in the area resembled a large crane flying high above, the town was originally called “Daehak (大鶴)”, literally a large crane. Thereafter, when people started to settle at the neck of the crane, the name was changed to “Daehang” for large neck. The Daehang Tideland Experiential Center is where visitors can safely experience the Tidelands with its high proportion of sand to mud.
Composition
The center mainly consists of Tidelands for experiencing clam-catching along, and parking is available. The Tideland experiential area, which measures 20 ha, features an open-air short-neck clam farm run by the Daehang Fishing Town Society. To protect shellfish and marine resources, only adult clams are allowed to be caught. One person can keep up to 1 kg of clams per day.
Development
Daehang Tideland Experiential Center opened in 2015 and is operated by the Daehang Fishing Town Society.
Current Status
