Udo, a tiny island located 3.5 kilometers off the eastern coast of Jeju-do, is a compact version of Jeju-do.

Inside the boat

Arrived at the Hawoomokdong Port.  Took a hop-on hop-off tour bus that went around the island.

This map shows where the tourist goes.  The bus also follows this route.

The first stop was Hagosudong Beach, which is just north of Biyangdo.

The beach

One can rent this tiny electric car on the island.  But the road is narrow, and there are many cars on the island, so it may not be very safe to drive this around.

The next was Biyangdo island.

The third stop was Geommeolle Beach, which means black sand beach.

The stairs to the beach, but only a few walk down to the beach.

The fourth stop was the highest point (Udobong Peak) on the island where the lighthouse is located.

Horses are around this area

The new lighthouse

Behind the new lighthouse is this old one, built 100 years ago.  The old lighthouse is not being used; it is here for historical value.

Walking back to the tour bus stop.

The last stop was Udo Sanho Beach (Seobinbaeksa).

The sand is of varying size, and according to some article, the color of the water is different by the depth.

The ferry port is close to this last stop, so I decided to walk to the port.
