Gureopdo Island (굴업도)

Gureop-ri, Ongjin-gun, Incheon

About

Seeking a true escape, Gureopdo Island offers a raw glimpse into Korea’s untouched nature, earning it the nickname "Galapagos of Korea." Expect vast natural beauty and a quiet pace, as amenities are minimal. This destination is perfect for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and those wanting to truly disconnect. While any time is lovely, summer is ideal, especially for camping near Gaemeori Hill to witness breathtaking views of the Milky Way.

View original description

Gureopdo Island is considered the Galapagos of Korea. There are only two attractions on this island, Gureop Beach and the port, and there are almost no convenience facilities due to its small population. The island is mostly covered in trees and lacks manmade facilities. As a result, the island still has most of its natural environment, a gift of nature. In summer, the area around Gaemeori Hill is a popular camping site because of its beautiful view of the Milky Way at night.
