[Gyeongsangnam-do] Jeodo Island (저도(딱섬))

Hello! Here is the detailed information for ‘Jeodo Island (저도(딱섬))’.

💡 Overview

Jeodo Island derives its name from the abundance of paper mulberry (a fiber crop largely used for papermaking) growing on the island. The letter “jeo” refers to paper mulberry, while “-do” refers to island.

On Jeodo Island, one can get a glimpse of what daily life in a small fishing village is like. The island can also be seen just behind the bamboo weirs from Siran Dock. The view is a combination of a lighthouse, fishing site, lush meadows, and lodgings with the ocean in the background. Fishing using bamboo weirs is a rare sight to see in Korea, and can only be found on the southern coast.
