Jinhae Marine Leisure Sports Center

Jinhae-gu, Changwon City, is a strategically important area for the Navy and a mecca for cherry blossoms, hosting the annual Military Port Festival every April. It is also home to the largest port in Northeast Asia and an economic free zone. Jinhae, with its beautiful 108km coastline and islands, mild climate, and other natural advantages, is a treasure trove of marine resources. In 2009, the Jinhae Marine Leisure Center was established to expand the base of marine leisure activities. In February 2011, it became the first local public corporation (Changwon Facility Corporation) to acquire and operate the center. It boasts convenient accessibility, affordable usage fees, a wide range of equipment, a dedicated marine training facility for schools, instructors with national team experience, and excellent facilities. Furthermore, it offers cruise, dinghy sailing, and windsurfing programs that are not easily accessible elsewhere. After completing the training, participants can rent equipment and enjoy leisure activities at any time.
