진도 신비의 바닷길
One of Jindo's most famous natural phenomena, this approximately 2.8-km-long and up to 40-meter-wide land bridge emerges from the sea during the year's lowest tides, connecting the village of Hoedong-ri with Modo Island. Often compared to the Biblical parting of the Red Sea, this remarkable tidal event is steeped in local legend. According to folklore, an elderly woman named Grandmother Ppong was left behind when her village fled from tigers to Modo Island. She prayed to the Sea Dragon King, who created a rainbow path through the waters for her reunion with her family. The phenomenon typically occurs during the second and sixth months of the lunar calendar. During the Mysterious Sea Road Festival, thousands of visitors walk across the exposed seabed, collecting shellfish and experiencing this natural wonder. The area around Gagye Beach offers excellent viewing points and access to the sea road when it appears.
