A 43km ferry trip from Gunsan brings you to the relaxing island of Seonyudo, situated amid 60 mostly uninhabited small islands. Today there are more bicycle-hire stalls than fishing boats; you can hire bicycles (₩10,000 per day) to pedal around the laid-back fishing villages on Seonyudo and the three islands that are linked to it by bridges.
The main attraction is the 1.6km beach, a 10-minute walk from the ferry pier, on a spit of soft sand. All the island’s peaks can be hiked for panoramic views of islands: just look for a trail or steps leading up to the top.
You’ll find plenty of inexpensive restaurants and minbak (rooms from ₩40,000) in the main village just before the beach.
