How to Make Waves on Geobukseom: Practical Guide to Using Siheung Wave Park

In October 2020, a 166,000㎡ artificial wave park was built on Turtle Island in Siwha MTV

Wave Park is an artificial surfing facility created on Turtle Island in the Siheung Multi Techno Valley (MTV) of Siheung-si, Gyeonggi-do. It was publicly unveiled ahead of its official opening in October 2020, and was reported as a project in which Siheung-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea Water Resources Corporation, and private operators invested about 563 billion won. Based on early reports, the site area was about 166,000㎡, and it was planned as a structure combining a surf zone, wave pool, and water leisure experience facilities.

The core artificial surf area was introduced as being 220m long and 240m wide, and was designed to generate waves up to 2.4m high every 8 seconds. Unlike natural beach waves, it is used under fixed sessions and safety management, so even first-time surfers should plan their schedule with lessons and safety instruction procedures in mind.

Surf Zone sessions start from 80,000 won: board and suit costs are extra

According to the official price list, free surfing costs 80,000 won per session for Bay Free, 80,000 won for Reef Free beginner/intermediate, and 110,000 won for Reef Free advanced. Wetsuits and surfboards are not included in the free surfing fee, so if you do not have equipment, you should separately consider 9,000 won for a soft board for 1 hour and 10,000 won for a regular wetsuit.

First-time learners can book Korean-language Lv.1 to Lv.3 surfing lessons for 119,000 won, and this tier includes a wetsuit and board. Children's surfing lessons cost 90,000 won, and a wetsuit is not included, while a soft board is included. Surf Cove can be used by those who are at least 150cm tall and have completed safety education, and the official safety standard is one person per wave.

According to the diving price list, freediving costs 80,000 won and scuba diving costs 130,000 won, and since admission tickets may be separate for diving programs, you should check the inclusion conditions on the reservation screen.

The sequence includes equipment fitting in the 1.2m-depth area, use of fins and a breathing apparatus, and pressure equalization training.

Strollers, bicycles, inline skates, kick scooters, picnic mats, and camping chairs are also restricted from being brought inside the facility, so visitors with infants should pay special attention to these rules.

Operating hours vary by date and zone, and the official operating-hours page only announces the 2026 Miocoasta season categories. Since closed days and daily opening and closing times are not fixed values, it is safest to recheck the official reservation and operating-hours page after selecting your visit date. Facility operation may be suspended in the event of worsening weather such as lightning or typhoons.

Plan the day separately for family water play in Miocoasta and wave practice in the Surf Zone

If your focus is water play, it is efficient to plan around the Miopool, Kids Pool & Turtle Pool, and Recreation Pool based on the Miocoasta all-day ticket. A jacket is mandatory at Miocoasta, and rental is available on-site if you do not have one. Elderly guests, pregnant women, people who have been drinking alcohol, people with underlying conditions, and epilepsy patients are stated as restricted from use.

If your focus is surfing, it is better to arrive at least 30 minutes before the reserved time to handle lockers, wetsuits, safety education, and board rental. Free surfing and lessons at Surf Cove are session-based, and on-site additional sessions are only possible when seats remain. If you want to use both the wave pool and surfing, the inclusion conditions for the Miocoasta admission ticket and surf products differ, so you should check each cart and reservation record separately.
