Banwol and Bakji are islands within an island, connected to each other and to Anjwa-do by wooden bridges that form a V shape when seen from above. Banwol is named for its half-moon shape when viewed from any direction, and its highest peak, Eokkae Mountain (210 m), is shaped like a shoulder. The Peopeul Bridge, about 1,500 m long, spans the sea between the islands, letting visitors walk across the water from one island to the next. Coastal walking trails and bicycle rentals are available, and the islands were selected as a Hidden Island to Visit by Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City. At low tide the islands are surrounded by mudflats; there is no sandy beach, and the natural scenery remains unspoiled.
