Hiking
Being Korea, Geoje is covered with hiking trails.
If just looking for a casual stroll, the 4km long trail from Okpo to Deokpo is very pleasant and consists of trails along the coast through pine forest and segments along red boardwalk where you an see older ladies foraging for shellfish for the local restaurants. Passes by the Great Victory Park and Deokpo at the end hosts a couple of hoe (sashimi) restaurants and a coffee shop for refreshments. One of the restaurants doesn't welcome foreigners, but the one two doors down does and is actually quitely literally signposted that way. Starting point is at the north end of Okpo port.
There are a few organised groups here meeting on different days, you will need to take water and wear proper hiking shoes
