Why go

Geobukseom (Turtle Island) is a small public coastal island in Siheung, Gyeonggi-do, named after the turtle-like silhouette of its profile. The island is connected to the mainland by a short causeway and combines a small fishing-village atmosphere, walking paths along the coast, viewing decks at scenic points, casual seafood restaurants, and the surrounding Siheung-area coastal landscape. The island sits within the broader Siheung-area coastal-tourism context that includes Daebudo Island and the Oido coastal cluster. Best paired with broader Siheung-and-Hwaseong coastal itineraries.
