About
Yokjido Island is a place where one can come and relax comfortably throughout the year. It floats in the southern sea, and the main island of Yokjido, along with the smaller islands of Dumido, Nodaedo, and Yeonhwado, are lined up in a straight line on the route between Busan and Jeju. Yokji sweet potatoes are a local specialty, and the circular road is known as a training course for mountain biking and island marathons on weekends and during winter. Hiking on Yokjido Island offers stunning coastal views with wide-open seas and crashing waves. The coastal road from the pier to Yapo is the most popular route for enjoying the scenery of fishing villages. The real climb begins at the point where the paved road ends. Notable attractions on Yokjido Island include Samyeodo Island, Pelicanbawi Rock, New Eden Hill, and the New Millennium Memorial Park.
