Biyangdo Island
Jeju-do(Jeju-si) , TheWestern Part of the Jeju Island

Biyangdo Island can be seen directly from Hyeopjae Beach, which is located northwest of Hanrim Port. The word Biyang means to fly over, and indeed, legend has it that Biyangdo Island actually flew over from China more than 1000 years ago. The tiny island, accompanied by Hallim Park, Hyeopjae Beach, and Hallim Port, create a truly picturesque landscape. At the peak in the middle of the island are two craters that form a basin, which is home to a colony of Villbrunea frutescens, the only natural colony in Korea. The island is also home to over 80 fish and various marine plants.Biyangdo Island is a popular destination for both summer fishing and as a place for a light hike. Although Biyang Peak is not high (only 114m above sea level) it still offers visitors an opportunity to overlook the breathtaking landscape from Mt. Halla to various volcanic mountains (called Oreum in Jeju dialect), dazzling coastal lines, and the glittering waters of Hyeopjae Beach. There are a small number of houses scattered around a quay at the foot of Biyang Peak, as well as an old unmanned lighthouse, adding flavor to the island.Visitors can get to the island by passenger boat departing from Hallim Port and operating two times a day at 9:00 a.m. and 15:00 p.m. Please note, however that during holidays and weekends, it operates only once a day, at noon. It takes approximately 15 minutes from Hallim Port to Biyangdo.* Hallim Port: +82-64-796-7552

Thanks to its quiet atmosphere, the beach gives visitors a calmer, more secluded beach experience than some of the larger beaches on Jeju.The 80 meters-wide, crescent-shaped beach stretches for a total length of 300m. Bordered by waters that are only an average of 1m deep, the beach gently slopes at a 5 degree angle. Known for its small waves, the beach is the perfect spot for children.Windsurfing is available nearby and popular tourist attractions such as Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak) and Seopjikoji are located in the area.
