Kalma Peninsula Tourism

The Kalma Peninsula is situated on the eastern coast of North Korea, within the city limits of Wonsan in Kangwon Province. This peninsula is known for its extensive beaches, which have become a focal point for governmental plans to promote tourism and leisure in the region. Historically, Wonsan functioned as a naval port and has played a significant role in North Korea's maritime activities. The Kalma Peninsula itself has seen considerable development, with the construction of the Kalma Airport and touristic infrastructure, including hotels and resorts designed to attract both international tourists and serve as a vacation spot for domestic visitors. The North Korean government has taken measures to transform the area into a world-class tourist destination. The scenic beauty of the peninsula is accentuated by the East Sea's clear waters and the region's generally pleasant weather during summer. Despite its potential as a tourist hub, international visitors to North Korea face various restrictions and state-guided tours, reducing accessibility to the Kalma Peninsula.
