Bigeum-do

The quiet beauty of this island is still preserved since it's still largely undiscovered by tourists. The island is the leading producer of naturally, sun-dried salt, and the salt fields are indeed a sight to behold. The island's two beaches, Hanuneom and Wonpyeong, have facilities that are open mid-July to mid-August.
