Sindo is a small island with two natural villages, and the entire island is part of Dadohae Haesang National Park. The island was once called Seopseom for its many brushwood (seop), and it is said to have come to be called Sindo, written with the Chinese character for firewood (薪). The island has striking natural scenery, and its beach on the central west coast has an 800 m long white sand shore backed by dense pine forest. Sindo was selected by the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs as an excellent water-quality beach on the East, West and South Coasts.
