Gohado Island Sea Deck
고하도 해상데크
An island where Admiral Yi Sun-sin once stationed his fleet. A roughly 1 km seaside boardwalk and a ship-shaped observation deck overlook Mokpo Harbor and the bridge.
Gohado lies across the water from Mokpo Harbor. During the final phase of the Imjin War, Admiral Yi Sun-sin stationed his navy here and prepared his warships, and a stone monument to Admiral Yi (Chungmugong) still stands on the island. Today a roughly 1 km wooden boardwalk runs along the coast, along with an observation deck shaped like 13 stacked panokseon, the Joseon-era 'board-house' warships. From it you can see Mokpo Bridge, Yudal Mountain and the harbor. The sea cable car to Gohado Station is the most convenient route, and you can also drive over Mokpo Bridge. The boardwalk is free, and the observation deck charges a small fee.
