Part of Dadohae Haesang National Park, Heuksan Island lies in the southwesternmost waters of Korea, and its sea is so deep blue that it appears black, which gave the island its name. A 24 km coastal road circles the island, and a boat tour from Yeri Port takes about two and a half hours to see sights such as Yeolmok Cave, Hongeo Village, and Geobugi Rock. In the past the island was a place of exile, and Jeong Yak-jeon, the second elder brother of Jeong Yak-yong, wrote the Jasanobo during his 15 years there, recording 155 kinds of fish and seafood. A handwritten inscription by Choe Ik-hyeon, a scholar and Righteous Army leader, is carved on a palm-shaped rock in Chon-ri.
