Odongdo Island

한려해상국립공원 (오동도) · Jeonnam · Beaches & islands

Odongdo Island, located off the coast of Yeosu, offers breathtaking views with its dramatic coastal cliffs and vibrant camellia blooms. A breakwater connects the island to the mainland, allowing visitors to walk or take the Dongbaek Train to enter the island. The densely planted camellias begin blooming in January and reach their peak in March, creating a stunning spectacle. The island features well-maintained walking trails, a lighthouse, a musical fountain park, and a barefoot walking park. Visitors can also take a scenic cruise to circle the island or enjoy panoramic views of Yeosu's coastline.
