Songi Island takes its name from its many pine trees and its shape, which resembles a human ear. Songi Beach, one of only two beaches in Yeonggwang County, lies in front of Songi village, and the 1 km pebble beach is made entirely of soft, smooth stones that are comfortable to walk on barefoot. Twice a day, when the tide recedes, a sandbar emerges for 2 to 3 hours, connecting to Gakido, where visitors can enjoy mudflat experiences. The island has been designated one of the 100 Most Beautiful Islands of Korea by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries and one of the 33 Islands Good for Rest by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, and its rocky coast and sunsets are popular with photographers.
