Mer, plages & littoral

La Corée est une péninsule bordée de trois mers très différentes : la mer de l'Est (bleu profond, spectaculaire), la mer du Sud (îles, douceur, Busan) et la mer de l'Ouest (vasières, les plus beaux couchers de soleil du pays). Les habitants sillonnent la côte au fil des saisons.
