Holtong Resort is a coastal recreational area located on a peninsula in Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do, characterized by its fine white sand beaches and dense pine forests. The site is a popular destination for auto-camping and sea fishing, as it offers a natural harbor environment protected by its unique geography.
