Gijeom-Soak Island, located in Byeongpung-ri, Jeungdo-myeon, Sinan County, is made up of five islands: Daegijeom, Sogijeom, Soak, Jinseom, and Ttanseom, linked by a causeway. 'Gijeom' means the starting point of the pilgrimage route, and 'Soak' means a small island with a hill. The path appears at low tide and is submerged at high tide; it was originally built by residents throwing stones into the mudflats, and is now paved with cement so that anyone can walk it safely across the sea.
