Jeodong Port & Chotdaebawi Rock
저동항・촛대바위
Ulleungdo's largest fishing port; the Chotdaebawi candle rock standing by the breakwater is a famous sunrise spot, and during squid season the harbor is lined with drying squid.
Jeodong Port is the fishing hub of Ulleungdo. During squid season, fishing boats light up the harbor at night, and drying squid can be seen all over the docks. In the morning you can watch the catch being sold and eat fresh sashimi nearby. At the end of the breakwater stands Chotdaebawi, a candle-shaped rock about 20 meters tall. Legend says it was formed from a daughter who waited for her fisherman father to return. The sun rises beside the rock at dawn, making it a popular spot for photographers. The port is connected to Dodong by local bus, and you can also walk here along the Haengnam coastal trail.
