Somaemuldo & Deungdaeseom
소매물도·등대섬
A postcard view within Hallyeohaesang National Park. At low tide a stone path emerges, linking the islands to the lighthouse island where a white lighthouse stands.
Somaemuldo lies at sea south of Tongyeong. A trail on the island crosses a hill from which you can look down on Deungdaeseom, the lighthouse island. A white lighthouse stands on a grassy cliff against the blue sea, one of the most famous island scenes in Korea. Twice a day at low tide, the roughly 70-metre pebble path known as the Sea-Opening Road emerges, allowing you to walk over to Deungdaeseom. You must return before the tide comes back in. The trip takes about 1 hour 20 minutes by boat from Tongyeong Port, or about 40 minutes from Jeogu Port in Geoje. Ferry schedules are heavily affected by wind and waves, so check the tide tables and return sailings in advance.
