Jeju Province has established a plan to develop Wimi Port into a new marine tourism landmark by utilizing its natural scenic beauty, various fishing village experiences, and surrounding conditions suitable for tourism.

Accordingly, a 198m-long marine pedestrian bridge, a 62m-long fishing port connecting walking pier, and a 28m-long beam-type pedestrian bridge have been completed at Wimi Port.

Along with this project, to develop Wimi Port into a multifunctional fishing port (fisher marina type), public mooring facilities with 42 berths and a 130m-long breakwater construction are scheduled to be completed by August this year.

Jung Jae-cheol, Director of the Marine and Fisheries Bureau of Jeju Province, said, “This project has connected Wimi Port as one and created a tourist route linked with Jeju Olle Trail Course 5,” adding, “We hope that the Wimi Port waterfront trekking course, which embraces nature along the coast, will lead to the development of fishing villages and increased income for local communities.”
