Bakji Island and Banwol Island form an island within an island, connected by wooden bridges. The Purple Bridge, about 1,500 m long, links Anjwa Island, Bakji Island, and Banwol Island, allowing visitors to walk from one island to the next across the sea. Banwol Island appears half-moon shaped from every direction, and Bakji Island is named after the Bak family, who first settled there. Walking trails and bicycle rentals are available, and the islands were selected as one of Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City's 'Islands to Visit'. At low tide they are surrounded by mudflats; there are no sandy beaches, but the natural landscape is preserved.
