Located at the southernmost tip, it belongs to Daejeong-eup, with a population of 245 people. It has many names, because the whole island looks like a lid, also called "Gae Island" and "Gaebo Island". It takes less than 20 minutes by boat from Musup Port to reach Gaebo Island. In recent years, it has become a check-in and photo-taking spot for young people, especially because of the whole green wheat fields in April and May every year.
At first glance, the wheat waves are flying in the wind, just like a picture. Popular stars such as Lee Hyori, Yoo Jae-seok, and IU have been here to shoot popular variety shows. The Green Wheat Festival is held here every May. The island is not big, and it only takes about an hour to go around the island. Gapado Island was once the place where the Dutchman Hendrik Hamel, the prototype of "Hamel's Travels", drifted. So you can see the Hamel drifting monument on the island."
