About

When the tide is low, the Jinseom Bridge emerges from the waters off the coast of Yeosu to lead visitors to a tiny island. Public murals, statues, and other works of art decorate the space, which also has a small café. Just be sure to keep an eye on the ocean levels to ensure that your route back to the mainland is clear.

High tides fully submerge the bridge twice a day. The island is free to visit and open to the public.
