Location
Okdo-myeon, Gunsan-si, Jeonbuk State, South Korea
Archipelago of 63 islands off the coast of Gunsan, connected by the 8.7km New Saemangeum Bridge (car accessible). Seonyudo is the main island with beaches, seafood restaurants, and bike trails. Jangja Island has dramatic cliff formations. Most visitors come for a 1-2 day beach and seafood trip.
Tips
- Drive across New Saemangeum Bridge from Gunsan. The bridge itself is scenic — stop at the midway rest area for panoramic ocean views.
- Rent bikes on Seonyudo (5,000 won/hour) and ride the island loop. Seonyudo Beach is calm and shallow, good for kids.
- Seafood is the main draw. Raw fish (hoe) platters start at 30,000 won. Jangja Island's cliff-side restaurants have the best atmosphere.
