The lowest island in Jeju, barely 20m above the sea. The loop is just over 4km and takes about an hour and a half on foot. In late April and early May the whole island goes green with barley, with Sanbangsan and Hallasan standing far behind. Sea and sky open wide from almost any spot, so photos come easily. Half a day is enough, and many people pair it with Marado. Shops and restaurants are few, so plan where to eat.
