The name "Hwaseong Golden Coast Road" reflects the stunning golden hues that color the West Sea at sunset. Stretching a total of 17 kilometers from Jebudo, passing through Baekmi Port, and ending at Gungpyeong Port, it is Hwaseong City's newest signature coastal tourism attraction. The course is divided into three themed sections to suit visitors' preferences: ▲ Section 1: Sunset Scenery Trail (5.0 km, Jebu Marina to Songgyo-ri), ▲ Section 2: Salt Sea Trail (4.5 km, Songgyo-ri to Baekmi Port), and ▲ Section 3: Gungpyeong Tourism Trail (7.5 km, Baekmi Port to Gungpyeong Port).

In particular, Hwaseong Special City has implemented multiple measures to maximize accessibility and convenience for tourists with the temporary opening. Since May, the city has been operating two local buses—Golden Coast 01 and Golden Coast 02—that circulate between West Sea Cable Car, Jeongok Port, Jebudo, and Gungpyeong Port, catering to public transportation users. For those visiting by car, eight parking lots (including temporary lots) with a total capacity of approximately 1,600 vehicles and 12 public restrooms have been distributed throughout the course, allowing visitors to park and enter the open coastal deck trail directly, thereby enhancing convenience.

Jeong Myeong-geun, Mayor of Hwaseong Special City, said, "The Hwaseong Golden Coast Road features a unique coastal deck trail that offers visitors the full beauty of West Sea sunsets and the atmosphere of fishing villages, making it an unparalleled healing destination exclusive to Hwaseong. With this temporary opening as a starting point, we aim to foster the Hwaseong Golden Coast Road as the premier coastal walking destination in the Seoul metropolitan area and complete the West Coast marine tourism belt, bringing new vitality to the local economy."

Meanwhile, for safe use, visitors must check the tide table before entering Section 1. In Section 2, due to military control zones, designated detour roads must be used after 5:30 PM for security and safety reasons.
