The park is built around a natural geological feature called Botaebawi, which acts as a breakwater for the inner lagoon area.
The facility was developed to modernize local maritime tourism by providing safe, accessible infrastructure for sea angling.
It is connected to the Guryongpo Coastal Trail, a longer walking path that runs along the dramatic rock-strewn shoreline of Pohang.
The site provides a stable environment for fishing even when the outer East Sea swells are relatively high due to the protected lagoon structure.
The surrounding waters are part of the productive Guryongpo fishing grounds, known for squid and mackerel populations.
Janggil-ri Complex Fishing Park is a maritime recreation facility located on the Guryongpo coast, designed to facilitate sea fishing in a protected environment. The park features a long, pedestrian-friendly bridge that connects the mainland to a rocky islet known as Boat Rock (Botaebawi). This geological formation is a major local landmark, creating a calm, natural lagoon suitable for various coastal activities. The site includes specialized decking, safety railings, and designated areas for anglers to cast lines into the East Sea. It serves as a hub for both recreational fishing and scenic coastal walking. The surrounding topography consists of jagged volcanic rock formations and clear, deep-blue waters typical of the Gyeongbuk coastline. Visitors can observe local maritime industry activities, as the park is integrated into a traditional fishing village setting.

Bring polarized sunglasses to better see marine life in the clear lagoon water.
Check the tide charts; the visual appeal of the rocky islets is most dramatic during low tide.
Ensure you have proper footwear with good grip, as the coastal rocks can be slippery.
Do not attempt to climb or walk on the jagged, unsheltered outer rocks beyond the designated safety railings, as the tide can be unpredictable.
Practice catch-and-release if not keeping fish; refrain from leaving bait or fishing line litter on the wooden decks.
