동쪽바다 중앙시장은 1943년경 묵호항 개항과 함께 자연스럽게 형성된 시장이다. 2001년부터 현재까지 비가림(하양막) 시설을 연차적으로 설치하여, 전통적인 재래시장에서 탈피한 현대적인 시장으로 탈바꿈하였다. 주차장 시설도 갖추고 있으며, 2006년에는 시장 상인회가 구성되고 인정시장으로 등록되었다. 시장 내에는 고소한 냄새로 사람들의 발길을 끄는 ‘구이 타운’과, 2016년 중소기업청 공모사업인 ‘청년상인 창업 지원 사업’의 일환으로 조성된 청년몰 ‘싱싱스’가 함께 운영되고 있어 더욱 활기찬 분위기를 자아낸다.

East Sea Jungang Market naturally formed after the opening of Mukho Port in 1943. Since 2001, the market has been installing rain covers and transitioning from a traditional-style market to a modern-day market equipped with a parking lot. In addition to the wide array of goods, the market also has Gui Town ("Grill Town"), attracting customers with savory cooking smell, and a youth market "Singsings."
