The park is built on an artificial island created to support local tourism and marine research.
The central tower serves a dual purpose as an observation deck and a functional lighthouse for the bay.
The ROKS Gangwon ship at the park is a Gearing-class destroyer that served the ROK Navy until 2000.
The complex integrates a large-scale solar energy plant, distinguishing it from traditional marine theme parks.
Jinhae Marine Park is an ocean-themed cultural complex located on the reclaimed island of Eumam-do, connected to the mainland via the Eumam Bridge. The park features the Jinhae Tower, a 120-meter high structure providing panoramic views of the southern coastline and nearby islands. The facility houses the Changwon City Marine Museum, which displays artifacts related to the region's naval history and maritime heritage. An onsite aquarium specializes in indigenous marine species found in the waters off the southern Korean peninsula. The Solar Park complex incorporates a large solar power facility and a dedicated exhibition center for renewable energy. Visitors can explore the retired ROKS Gangwon, a decommissioned destroyer now serving as a floating exhibit. The park is situated on the coast of Jinhae Bay, a region historically significant for the South Korean Navy's presence.
The observation deck of the Jinhae Tower for a 360-degree aerial view of the naval port and islands.
Bring comfortable walking shoes to navigate between the main tower, the ship exhibit, and the island walking paths.
Check the weather before visiting, as the observation deck's visibility depends heavily on maritime fog and coastal weather conditions.
Spend time on the Eumam Bridge for unobstructed views of the surrounding archipelago.
Do not attempt to walk across the bridge during high-wind maritime warnings.
Closed on Mondays and on the morning of Lunar New Year and Chuseok.
Maintain silence within the ship exhibit and aquarium; do not touch preserved maritime artifacts.
