Located near the white lighthouse, the Sodol Son Rock Park has strange, attractive features that can be carved into the wind and waves. It is not so much nature’s creation, but it is spectacular in every aspect.

Sodol Rock is a rock that was found in the ocean during the Jurassic Period about 150 million years ago and has been thrown into the surface by geological fluctuations. There is a legend that an elderly couple had a long prayer day in order to bare a son. After the long pray, they elderly couple gave birth to a son and thus it became famous as a popular place for honeymooners and newly married couples. 
For this reason, there are various other sculptures that depict the son and the parent as well as a young boy that attracts attention.

The village where the park is located is named Sodol Village. It is said that the whole village has a shape similar to cow, and thus named after it. The symbol of this Sodol Village is the cow rock inside the Sodol Son Rock Park. It is considered a symbol of this town because the shape of each of the overgrown black rocks resembles a strong hydrogen. It is also fun to stroll through the stone path between the stone and the rock.
