외달도

외달도 (Oedaldo) is Mokpo's tourist island and is often referred to as Love island. It has two beaches, a resort boasting a salt water pool and an indigenous farming community; enough to warrant its own tourist entry and of course some blog posts, (and some with their own spellings).

The ferry schedule is posted (along with other tours) on the Tour Mokpo site and is fairly straight forward if you can read Korean. The translated version clears it up a bit, giving us the following table:

No.Mokpo to Island of Love (Oedaldo)Island of Love (Oedaldo) to MokpoRemarks

208:3009:20Rising

814:3015:20Rising
915:3016:20Provisions
1016:3017:20Rising
1117:3018:20Provisions
There are two notes at the bottom of the table:
  • The 1 ferry runs only in season (when the resort swimming pool is open).
  • Rising and Provisions are the companies operating the ferry during the run.
