Jebudo is an island in Jebu-ri, Seosin-myeon, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. It is connected to the mainland by a road that is impassable twice a day due to high tide.
Historically, Jebudo was called "Jeobiseom" or "Jeopbiseom" . Both of these terms mean "the island that can be seen from land".
The name "Jebu" possibly arose in the mid-Joseon period, from two characters of the phrase "Jeyakbugyeong", used in the Thousand Character Classic.
The island has two mountains: Dangsan and Tapjaesan.
The relatively flat coastline contains many large mud flats. Foraging for seafood ingredients in the mudflats is a popular economic and tourist activity.
Jebudo Beach, on the south of the island, is a popular summer tourist destination.[1] The main commercial street is near Jebudo Beach.
