1 Introduction to Somaemuldo(Island).
Somaemuldo is a small island located about 26km away from Tongyeong Port, with an area of only 2.51㎢ and a coastline of only 5.5㎞. Administratively, it belongs to Maejuk-ri, Hansan-myeon, Tongyeong-si.
It is located about 1 hour and 10 minutes away by boat from Tongyeong, Gyeongnam, and is close enough to be reached by boat in only about 30 minutes from Jeogu Port, Geojedo. The northern part of the sea is part of Hallyeohaesang National Park.
The coast of Somaemuldo is home to a variety of spectacular rock formations along the vertical coastal cliffs. Among them, sea cliffs, sea caves, and seaside cliffs formed by the erosion of waves have developed here and there, creating a spectacular coastal landscape, and it is known as the third of the '8 Scenic Views of Tongyeong'.
The lighthouse island at the southern end of Somaemuldo was designated as a 'special island' by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries on September 5, 2000, and was selected as an 'island to visit' by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism in 2007. In addition, the Cultural Heritage Administration recently designated the lighthouse island as a natural scenic spot, recognizing the value of its topographical landscape, and interest in it is increasing. Therefore, Somaemuldo provides us with an important place for on-site education to understand natural scenic spots, and can also be considered another learning site for understanding the topography and geology of the islands on the southern coast.
