Haenam's 3 five-day markets follow the date lists in the source and never fall on the same day
- Haenam Market is held at 100-1 Jungang 2-ro, Haenam-eup, on the 1st, 6th, 11th, 16th, 21st, and 26th of each month.

- The three markets never fall on the same day, and no day outside the three lists is given as a market day.
- As a shortcut, the last digit 1 or 6 means Haenam Market, 2 or 7 Namchang Market, and 3 or 8 Namni Market.
- But Haenam Market's list ends on the 26th, so a later day ending in 1 (the last day of a long month) is not on it.
- The source does not say whether the market is held that day, so call before visiting (Haenam Market 061-536-4953).
Haenam Market is the Haenam-eup market selling fish, salted mitten crab, and salted freshwater shrimp, and its shops keep their own hours apart from the market days

- The source gives shop hours and closed days only as 'varies by shop', apart from the market-day list, so ask the shop itself whether it opens on a day that is not a market day.
- Parking is available, credit cards are not accepted, and there is no stroller rental.
- The contact number is 061-536-4953.
Namchang Market is held beside the sea and sells seafood and garlic
- Namchang Market opened right after 1945 and sells local by-products, seafood, and garlic.
- Because it is held right beside the sea, there are fish such as pomfret, hairtail, and octopus, plus snack foods and treats. It is open from around sunrise to 12:00, and the hours differ by shop.
- You can park in the public parking lot, and credit cards are not accepted.
- The contact numbers are 061-533-0981 for Namchang Market (the five-day market) and 061-533-0865 for the Namchang marketplace.
- Haewollu Pavilion, where envoys traveling to and from Jejudo Island in the Joseon period waited for the wind, is about 210 m away in a straight line, and Haewollu Pavilion is open at all times with parking available.
Namni Market is held only in the morning, 06:30–11:00
- Namni Market sells local by-products, grains, and seafood, and one shop selling farm tools and one blacksmith's shop remain.
- The market is open only 06:30–11:00, so you need to go early.
- The contact is the Hwangsan-myeon Community Center, 061-531-3462.

FAQ
Which five-day market in Haenam is held today?
Check the date against the three markets' lists. Haenam Market is on the 1st, 6th, 11th, 16th, 21st and 26th of each month, Namchang Market on the 2nd, 7th, 12th, 17th, 22nd and 27th, and Namni Market on the 3rd, 8th, 13th, 18th, 23rd and 28th. On days not in the three lists, none of the three markets is listed as open. A day after the 26th that ends in 1 (the last day of a long month) is not on Haenam Market's list, so call to check before visiting (061-536-4953).
Is Haenam Market held on the last day of a long month?
Haenam Market's dates run to the 1st, 6th, 11th, 16th, 21st, and 26th of each month, and a later day ending in 1 (the last day of a long month) is not on the list. Counting by the last digits 1 and 6, it may look like a market day, but the source does not set it as one, so call Haenam Market (061-536-4953) before you go. Shop hours and closed days differ by shop, apart from the market days.
Are Haenam's five-day markets open in the afternoon?
Namni Market opens 06:30–11:00 and Namchang Market from around sunrise to 12:00, so you need to shop in the morning. At Haenam Market, business hours differ by shop.
