About

When the tide is low, the Jinseom Bridge emerges from the waters off the coast of Yeosu to lead visitors to a tiny island. Public murals, statues, and other works of art decorate the space, which also has a small café. Just be sure to keep an eye on the ocean levels to ensure that your route back to the mainland is clear.
