Chodo Island (초도(여수))

Description

Located 77 kilometers southwest of Yeosu, Chodo Island is surrounded by islands of various sizes. The island has three small fishing villages around the central Sangsanbong Peak. The island is famous for its sunset view from the peak and the sea-parting that happens at low tide between Jinmak Village and Mokseom Island off the coast. There are two beaches on the island, with Jeonggang Beach being a popular vacation location among families. There is only one passenger ferry between Yeosu and Chodo daily. There is also a cruise tour to the nearby islands, a popular activity for overnight guests.
