Gadeokdo Island
Busan
Gadeokdo is a secluded island at the southern tip of Gangseo District, Busan, where dense forest, coastal cliffs, and quiet fishing villages coexist in remarkable harmony. The coastal trekking trail starting from Daehang Village and the lighthouse path offer sweeping views of the South Sea and the vast Busan New Port. The Gadeokdo Lighthouse, a historic white lighthouse built in 1909, is a popular photography spot where its red roof contrasts beautifully with the surrounding seascape. The sunsets over Yeonhwa-ri coast and the unhurried pace of village life make this island a cherished escape for travelers seeking a break from city bustle.
