Despite its sudden fame, the island, a private property, is not accessible as of now, as the fishing boats – the only way for visitors to reach the island – don’t sail during winter.

The small desolate island, with a total area of 168,910 square meters, was officially registered as one of the nation’s uninhabited islands subject to strict environmental preservation in August 2018, according to the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries.

Visitors can get to Saseungbongdo by taking fishing boats at a dock in Seungbongdo, 2.2 kilometers away from the desert island just off the coast in Incheon. Seungbongdo is inhabited by nearly 200 people.

Boasting a clear, shimmering ocean and a vast sand field surrounded by dense woods, the hidden island has emerged as a hot spot for outdoor camping lovers and backpackers. Grass fields on the northern coast is a perfect place to set up tents or tables for cooking. Sandy fields stretched out along the sea attract the eye of sunbathers.
