Anma Island, the largest island in Nakwol-myeon, Yeonggwang County, lies about 39 km west of Beopseongpo and is named for its saddle-like shape. Together with six nearby islets, including Seokman, Jukdo, Hoengdo and Odo, it forms the Anma island group, and its waters are known for dried yellow corvina (Yeonggwang gulbi), as well as hairtail, mackerel and octopus. Wave-carved sea cliffs, sea caves and jointed rock layers create formations such as Malko Rock, Swinging Rock, Rabbit Rock and Sun Wukong Rock. Caves include Yonggung Cave, open only at low tide, and Okdongja Cave, said to help couples have children. The island is also home to rare plants and more than 60 bird species.
