At Kkotji Beach, knowing the names Halmi and Halabi gives you a reason to look again at the two rocks. Read their legend of waiting, then think about dinner after the coast. We introduce local Sowon makgeolli through one traveler’s record.

What to eat here

Interested in gegukji crab soup or soy-marinated crab? Consider Galmaegi Hoetjip in Anmyeondo or Deoksu Sikdang in Taean-eup. Pairing with Sowon is an idea to explore; check current menus and drink selection with the venue.

What was confirmed and what remains blank

Halmi and Halabi Rocks at Kkotji are at 123-1 Songnim-gil, Anmyeon-eup, Taean-gun, Chungcheongnam-do. Public sources support sunset viewing, photography, and walking. Save the address as a sunset reference point, but recheck site conditions and visitor guidance before departure. Sowon Makgeolli’s specifications, brewery, current distribution, and inventory were not confirmed, so do not build a purchase into the itinerary. The hero image is an editorial concept, not a photograph taken at Kkotji.

Before choosing a bottle

Makgeolli is a fermented alcoholic drink, usually made with rice. Food pairings here are suggestions; they do not confirm that a restaurant stocks the bottle. Check the menu, opening hours and booking requirements directly.
