Jindo Island is an island in South Jeolla province, South Korea. It lies just off the southwest corner of the Korean peninsula. It is separated from the mainland by the Myeongnyang Strait; however, this strait is now spanned by South Korea's longest suspension bridge, the Jindo Bridge. The island makes up the great majority of Jindo County. The Korea Jindo Dog is native to this island.
