Stroll along the endless stretches of golden sand that comprises the coastline, scale the towering mountainside that defines the landscape or explore the rural scenery found in the beguiling village of Dangni – Wando truly is a mecca of natural beauty. The most popular attraction is Myeongsasimni Beach, arguably the most beautiful beach in the entirety of South Korea, which is often drenched in tourists enjoying the sun and sea in the peak of summer. When the weather gets slightly cooler, the beach gets slightly emptier, allowing you to walk the four kilometre strip in an oasis of peace and tranquillity. No matter what time you arrive in Wando, the friendly and welcoming locals will ensure you get to your hotel or resort in a safe and comfortable manner. Many of the hotels are very affordable for a day or two, giving you enough time to sunbathe on the beautiful beaches in the daytime, whilst enjoying some quintessential Korean cuisine at one of the delicious restaurants. To really capture Wando’s true essence, climb one of the steep hills for a captivating look across the undulating terrain and infrastructure.
The ferry allows you to take your car, which is probably the best way to travel around Wando, there bicycles are for hire should you prefer a more healthy and environmentally friendly way to traverse the land.
Found off the south-western coast of South Korea, just beyond the ragged mosaic of islands that pock the Yellow Sea, is the Chuja Island archipelago. Though consisting of 42 landmasses, ranging from small atolls to bigger islands, only 4 are inhabited; the largest of which being Sangchujado – home to the portside town of Sinyang-Ri. Those approaching Chuja by boat will first notice the magnificent tree-topped peaks that almost completely cover the island. These steep hills rise up on chalk-coloured cliffs that overlook the deserted islands found in the exotic waters of the Jeju Strait. Chuja port is situated within a natural blue-watered bay on the western shores of the main island, equidistant between the large volcanic island of Jejudo in the south and the South Korean mainland town of Wando to the north. It’s a prime location for travellers eager to explore the sparsely populated southern reaches of the South Jeolla Province. Transport to and from the port is limited, though all four of the inhabited areas are connected by a simple road system that snakes along the coastline. The port itself is very small and devoid of passenger facilities meaning the harbour is far more suited to the mooring of barges and yachts than servicing cruise ships. Two routes, both operated by Hanil Express ferries, take passengers from Chuja to either Jejudo in the south or Wando in the north. These short voyages run a number of times throughout the week.
