About

Located about 32km south of Tongyeong Port, Yokjido Island is a representative island of Namhae that boasts a deep history, with shell mound artifacts from the Mesolithic and Neolithic eras having been excavated. The 21km-long coastal ring road and the Bireonggil trekking course along the strange rock cliffs are considered major attractions, and you can enjoy various scenic views such as the 3 suspension bridges crossing the coastal gorge, Pelicanbawi Rock, and Samyeodo Islets. It is an attractive travel destination where nature and history harmonize, featuring the Evergreen Chinquapin Forest of Yokjido, which is a Natural Monument, Cheonhwangbong Peak, the highest peak on the island, and Deokdong Pebble Beach with its impressive black pebbles.
