| Description |
Baengnyeongdo Islandis located in the West Sea, and it is named so from a legend
which tells of a young man who died of love and numerous white cranes flew in
and covered his body. The name means ‘white crane wings’. The places to visit in
Baekryeongdo Island are Sagot Beach and Dumunjin Beach. Sagot Beach is famous
for its natural landing strip, similar to Italy’s Naples, and the dark cone pine
trees along its shoreline are very beautiful. When the water recedes, you can
see the white sandbank where cargo planes used to land, and because the sand is
so soft, they say the planes leave no tire tracks. The Dumunjin Beach, on the
other hand, is famous for its vertical cliffs and Giamgoeseok (strange and
fantastic looking rocks). You can see many rocks with interesting names, such as
Candle Rock, Brother Rock, Elephant Rock, and others that resemble the shapes
they are named after. In addition, Baekryeongdo Island has pristine natural
habitats, including a variety of rare plant life. Along the shore of Dumunjin
Beach, you can also see the Reunification Observation Tower, from which you can
see North Korea. On the beach there are many local houses that rent out fishing
boats. If you love fishing, it’s a good idea to try renting one here.
