Goheung Hot Spring is a coastal thermal facility in Goheung County, South Jeolla Province, an undulating peninsula of islands, inlets, and fishing villages on the southern coast of South Korea that has become a center for Korea's growing aerospace industry with its Naro Space Center — the country's first rocket launch site, open to public tours. The bicarbonate and chloride-enriched thermal waters provide skin-beneficial and body-warming properties in a coastal setting characterized by the mild maritime climate of the southern Korean coast. The county's extraordinary coastal scenery — including the dramatic Yeongnam cliff coast, traditional boat-building villages, and the famed green tea plantations of the Boseong area nearby — gives Goheung a characteristically scenic South Jeolla identity.

Insider tip — Goheung Peninsula juts into the Korea Strait and is home to Korea's Space Launch Center, lending the area a unique mix of cutting-edge and traditional. The hot spring water is drawn from a saline coastal aquifer typical of the south Jeolla basement geology. Facilities here are quieter and more local in character than major urban jjimjilbang, offering a genuinely unhurried soak. Nearby Jijukdo Island and the Narodo Marine Cable Car make for a rewarding full-day coastal excursion.
