The island is the lowest in Jeju, barely 20m above sea level. The circumference is just over 4km, so walking around takes about an hour and a half. In late April and early May the whole island turns into green barley with Sanbangsan and Hallasan far behind. Sky and sea are wide open from almost any spot, which makes photos easy. Half a day is plenty, and people often pair it with Marado.
