Daebudo Island is a large island that used to be part of Daebu-myeon, Ongjin-gun. Entry to and from mainland can be made freely since the completion of the Sihwa Embankment. Daebudo Island is called the 21st century’s greatest place for tourism and leisure in Korea. The island became connected to mainland since the construction of the Sihwa Embankment, but it still possesses the romance and lyrical feature of an island for unique pleasure. You can dig for short-necked clams or razor clams in the tideland and enjoy deep-sea fishing for a variety of fish including goby, flatfish and grouper. Daebu grapes are famous specialty products.Other specialty products include short-necked clams and oysters from Yukdo Island and salted top shell and natural Solomon’s seal tea from Pungdo Island. Be sure to try bajirak-kalguksu (noodles in short-necked clam soup).
