Yokjido
Yokjido
An inhabited island reached by ferry from Tongyeong Port. Low swell keeps it calm, and the pebble beaches of Deokdong and Dodong tend to have clean visibility. Water temperature is higher than other South Sea areas, so diving is said to be possible until mid-October.
Calm seas and
an island of pebble beaches
An inhabited island in Yokji-myeon, Tongyeong, Gyeongnam (about 30 km southwest of Tongyeong). Low swell keeps it calm, and the pebble beaches of Deokdong and Dodong tend to have clean visibility. It is marked by large seaweed-covered rocks and rugged cliff terrain, with deep and shallow areas evenly distributed.
