Geojedo Haegeumgang Islets

거제도 해금강 · Gyeongnam · Beaches & islands

Haegeumgang Islets is a tourist attraction located in front of the Windy Hill on Geojedo Island, known as a rocky island within the Hallyeohaesang National Park. While its shape resembles the spreading roots of arrowroot, hence its name "Galdo," it is widely referred to as Haegeumgang, representing the sea's Geumgangsan Mountain. Famous for its sunrise and sunset views, they are best observed from Ilwolbong Peak or Sajabawi Rock. Visitors can enjoy stunning landscapes, including the Sipja Cave, Mireukbawi Rock, Chotdaebawi Rock, and a 1,300-year-old pine tree, by taking a ferry tour.
