Seungbongdo lies about 50 km southwest of Incheon's Yeonan Wharf. The island is named Seungbongdo, meaning 'phoenix rising,' because its overall shape is said to resemble a phoenix soaring into the sky. Ireule Beach, on the island's south coast, is about 1,300 m long and 40 m wide, with a gentle slope and shallow water, so no mudflats appear even at low tide. Behind the sand stretches a dense forest that gives the area a cool atmosphere, and the quiet Jangol Beach is nearby. The island's only village is a tourism village fostered by the Ongjin County Agricultural Technology Center, offering guesthouse accommodations and a shower facility that draws about 400 tons of groundwater daily.
