보령 가볼 곳, 아름다운 자연경관의 충청남도 수영성
2009년 8월24일 ‘보령 충청수영성’으로 명칭을 바꾸었고
사적 제501호로 승격 지정되었다고 한다.

영보정에서 바라보는 경치는 안내문에도 소개한 대로 '우리나라 최고 절경의 정자'라는데에 아무런 이견이 없을 것 같다. 조선시대 많은 시인 묵객들이 찾아와 경치를 즐기며 시문을 많이 남겼으며 특히 다산 정약용, 백사 이항복은 이곳을 조선 최고의 정자로 묘사하기도 했다.
조선시대 시인 묵객들이 그토록 찬사를 아끼지 않았던 보령의 바다는 2019년 현재 보아도 여전히 절경이다. 보령의 바다가 한눈에 펼쳐지는 영보정의 모습은 그야말로 감탄이 절로 나온다

Cultural Heritage
Ocheon Chungcheong Suyeongseong (fortress)
Chungcheong Suyeongseong Fortress is a stone wall to defend against foreign enemies from the West Sea.
It was built by Lee Jang-saeng, the Naval Commander-in-chief, during the 4th year of King Jungjong of the Joseon Dynasty (1509) reign. The fortress, a wall of stacked stones extending for 1,650 meters on the perimeter of Chungcheong Naval Base, was a strategically important point for coastal defense. An observatory was built on a high land shaped like a soft-shelled turtle to watch over the seas and islands.
There were four fortress gates on all sides, a small western gate, and government offices, such as Yeongbojeong, Gwandeokjeong, Daeseopru, Neungheogak, and Gosodae, all of which were destroyed. Manghwamun (western gate) and Jinhyulcheong, Janggyocheong, and Gonghaegwan (buildings) have been preserved.
Manghwamun Gate is shaped like an arch built with cleaning granites. Ocheonhang Port was called Hoeipo, where trade was carried out with China since the Baekje Dynasty, and it hosted military vessels to repel Japanese pirates during the Goryeo Dynasty. In the 12th year of King Sejo's reign (1466), the naval base was constructed as the headquarters of the Chungcheong Provincial Navy to defend the western coast.
