Administratively part of Tongyeong, Saryang Island consists of three islands, Upper Island (Sangdo), Lower Island (Hado), and Suu Island, about 1.5 km apart. Around 200,000 visitors come each year, and about 5,000 on weekends, to hike and fish. Upper Island is home to Jirimangsan, also called Saryang Jiri Mountain, whose rocky ridges draw hikers; the route from Donji-ri to Okyeobong covers about 6.5 km and takes roughly four and a half hours. Lower Island has about seven rock fishing spots, and a paved coastal road on Upper Island offers about an hour's scenic drive. Daehang Beach, the island's only beach of its kind, has restrooms, showers, and a campsite.
