Baegya Bridge, which opened on April 14, 2005, connects the island to the mainland by car, and more tourists and anglers have visited since. Development of the Hwayang area, including Yeosu Ocean Resort, is planned, and more visitors are expected. At 3.08 km², the island was once called Baekho-do, as it looked from afar like a tiger holding its cub, before being renamed Baegya-do in 1896. Baegya Lighthouse, first built in 1928 and rebuilt in 1983 at 11.1 m tall, uses a medium-sized lamp developed in Korea that can be seen from 35 km offshore and guides ships between Yeosu and Naro-do.
