Jebudo

Jebudo is an island in Jebu-ri, Seosin-myeon, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. It is connected to the mainland by a road that is impassable twice a day due to high tide.

Etymology

Historically, Jebudo was called "Jeobiseom" or "Jeopbiseom". Both of these terms mean "the island that can be seen from land".
The name "Jebu" possibly arose in the mid-Joseon period, from two characters of the phrase "Jeyakbugyeong", used in the Thousand Character Classic.

Description

The island has two mountains: Dangsan and Tapjaesan.
The relatively flat coastline contains many large mud flats. Foraging for seafood ingredients in the mudflats is a popular economic and tourist activity.
Jebudo Beach, on the south of the island, is a popular summer tourist destination. The main commercial street is near Jebudo Beach.
