Wido Beach is a beach on Wido island in Buan-gun, also called Gosumdochi Beach. It lies in a deep bay with fine sand and clear water, and its more than 1 km sandy shore is shallow, making it very popular with families. Nearby islets such as Gipeungeum, Miyeonggeum, and Nongeum offer a chance to feel the calm of nature. The sunset here is especially beautiful, with the distant Wangdeungdo islet appearing against the red sun over the open sea. To reach Wido, take a ferry from Gyeokpo Passenger Terminal, which runs six round trips a day.
