Deokjeokdo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Deokjeokdo Island (덕적도) can be reached from the ferry terminal in Incheon. It is about half an hour by hydrofoil from the mainland. There is a hiking trail that leads to the top of one of two peaks on the island; the other peak is a military reservation. On the west side there is a beach with a number of hotels, inns, and restaurants, as well as a forest of small pine trees. There are as many as seven boats per day in the summer, but only one in other seasons. The boat leaves at different times in the morning, depending on the tides. It is a worthwhile day trip or a nice place to spend a weekend. One could also take a bicycle there and ride around. There is a bus from the ferry dock to the other side of the island.
