Named for its shape, which resembles a roe deer when viewed from the mainland, Jang Island is the only island in Boseong County. It lies in Yeoja Bay between Goheung and Yeosu, about 3.8 km southeast of Jangam-ri, Beolgyo-eup, with an area of 2.92 km² and a coastline of 15.9 km. Surrounded by the Beolgyo tidal flats, the island is largely flat, and at low tide the mudflats stretch out to its shore. Though still little known, the islanders are warm, and visitors can enjoy an island table of ark shells, octopus, clams, and oysters, as well as healing trails through its scenic landscape.
