Shall we head to the Wando beach, where the autumn sea shines blue? 🌊
The 2026 Pure Wando Autumn Island Trip will be held for 3 days, from October 9 (Fri) to 11 (Sun), at Wando Beach Park and surrounding areas.
I’ve organized the program information (as of September 30) from Wando County press releases and the Wando Culture & Tourism website.
🎪 About the Event
This year’s theme is ‘Colored by Autumn, Fell for Wando.’
Taste, enjoy, experience, and even take home local specialties like Wando abalone—it’s an all-senses-satisfied trip.
At the beach park, you’ll find performances, experiences, and food stalls, while on islands like Cheongsando, Bogildo, and Saengildo, each island hosts its own unique programs.
During the same period and at the same beach park, the 3rd Autumn Beach Reading Culture Festival will also take place.
