After a 40-minute boat ride from Tongyeong Port, I arrived at the island at 9:40 in the morning. As I set foot on the beach, I couldn't help but notice that the water wasn't as clear as I had expected. One side of the beach had white sand while the other side was covered in gravel, but the tides in South Korea seemed to make a difference. The water was deeper than the east coast and somewhat cloudy, which made snorkeling impossible. However, the local residents' association had set up tents for renting umbrellas and tubes, and the prices were reasonable.
The locals were kind enough to guide me around, but if you're looking for food other than chicken, there are only two options, and they cost 25,000 won. The delivery takes about an hour, but the taste is decent. The water is deep, so it's essential to keep an eye on the children. Also, keep a lookout for jet skis as they can be quite intimidating. Only the indigenous people can ride boats with cars in Bijindo, so keep that in mind. Overall, Bijindo Beach is a beautiful place to visit, but be prepared for some limitations.
