Maldo Island (말도)

Maldo Island is located in Okdo-myeon, Gunsan, at the end of the Gogunsan Archipelago, and is also known as "Kkeumseom Island" (End-point Island). It is a small island with about 30 households, but due to the surrounding waters being a golden fishing ground, it has the largest lighthouse in the Gogunsan Archipelago, making it a tourist attraction. The island is dotted with unique landmarks such as lighthouses, cheonnyeongsong (millennium pines), and Dalbawi Rock, and is well-known for its beautiful sunset views. Maldo Island was reportedly first settled during the mid-Joseon dynasty by Sim Ban-seo, an exile from Seoul who cultivated the land and laid the foundation for the island's growing population.
