For travelers considering Namhae, I strongly recommend visiting Bijindo for its quiet, natural charm, particularly around Mid March, or mid-September, a surprisingly ideal season for swimming without the crowds. Accommodations like Bijindo Bada Iyagi offer an exceptional experience, providing free marine sports equipment like wakeboards and life jackets.
Leaving behind the bustling life of Seoul, we first arrived at Tongyeong via express bus from Seoul Express Bus Terminal, followed by a scenic ferry ride to Bijindo (ferry information available at Maemuldo Ferry).
Vehicle sharing apps such as SOCAR make exploring the region effortless. For lodging outside Bijindo island, reliable booking platforms include Yanolja and Yeogi-Eoddae.
