Daeijakdo Island (Daeijakdo), spanning approximately 2.57 square kilometers with an 18-kilometer coastline, offers a charming escape for visitors. The island stretches about 4 kilometers from the western pier to Gyenam Village on the eastern end. While vehicles can be brought via ferry, exploring on foot is highly recommended. With no public transportation available, those needing a vehicle can either seek assistance from their accommodation hosts or rent an electric car. However, leisurely walks or extended stays in one spot are the best ways to truly experience the island’s beauty. Accommodation options range from guesthouses to pensions, some of which provide meals and offer activities like mudflat exploration and sea fishing. A secluded campsite near the beach also attracts backpackers seeking a tranquil retreat.
Ferries to Daeijakdo run two to three times daily from the Incheon Port Coastal Passenger Terminal and Bangameori Port Passenger Terminal on Daebudo Island. The journey from Incheon takes over two hours, offering ample time to prepare for a relaxing visit to this serene island.
