Why go

Yundol Island, located off the coast of Geoje, is a small tidal island accessible on foot when the tide recedes. The rocky formation reveals a distinctive circular stone arrangement that resembles a ship's wheel when viewed from above, which inspired its name. Visitors can explore tidal pools, observe local marine life, and photograph the dramatic coastal landscape. The island offers a rare opportunity to walk on seabed that is normally submerged, making it a popular destination during low tide periods. Access requires timing and tide tables.
