Located 28 kilometers east of Geomundo Island, Baekdo Island is comprised of a collective group of uninhabited rock islets. Some of the most well-known islets are Maebawi Rock, Seobangbawi and Gaksibawi Rocks, Hyeongjebawi Rock, and Seokbulbawi Rock, each rock with a legend or a myth of its own. Baekdo Island is also a nature preserve that serves as a home to several endangered species, and can only be observed while aboard a cruise that tours the nearby islands.

Geomundo Lighthouse, completed on April 12, 1905, was the first lighthouse to be built on the southern coast of Korea. The white, 6.4-meter-high lighthouse shines a beam of light every 15 seconds that is visible for up to 42 kilometers away. In January 2006, a 33-meter-high lighthouse top was added to replace obsolete facilities. The previous hundred-year-old lighthouse top was partially restored and is on display as a maritime relic. While at the lighthouse, don’t forget to visit the Gwanbaekejong Pavilion next to the lighthouse for an exquisite view of the southern sea.
