욕지도
A large island southwest of Tongyeong, famous for its spectacular coastal ring road and the Chulun Bridge sea-cliff trail. It is known for mackerel farming and sweet potatoes.
Yokjido is one of the main islands off Tongyeong. Its ring road is about 20 km long, and you can tour it by rental car, e-bike or island bus, passing sea cliffs, fishing villages and viewpoints one after another. The Yokjido Chulun Bridge trail has the most dramatic cliff scenery, and you can climb Cheonhwang Mountain for a distant view. The island is one of the few places in Korea where mackerel is farmed. Sashimi and sweet potato desserts are local specialties. A ferry from Samdeok Port in Tongyeong takes about 1 hour and can carry vehicles. Plan a full day or stay overnight.
