Gwanmaedo is the most representative island among the six Jodo islands designated as part of Dadohae Haesang National Park. Beyond its scenery, it has the Hubak tree, a natural monument, and wild pungran orchids have recently been restored, which gives it value as an ecotourism site. The island has eight scenic spots that visitors can explore one by one, and the beach has served as a filming location for KBS and SBS dramas. Boat trips around the island offer unusual rock formations and views of the island's geological layers, along with sea fishing.
