Suncheon Bay is representative for the native ecosystem preserved as the original pattern of the disappeared costal mouth.
In particular, Suncheon Bay is very outstanding of dense reeds, the habitat for a winter of Black Cranes, birds, and tideland. These reeds not only provide the most important shelter and prey but also make a role to clean the nature. The beautiful S shape of Suncheon Bay is known as one of the best 10 sun set from photographers.
