28km east of Geomundo Island, you will find Baekdo Island, where the entire island is ivory white. Baekdo Island is composed of 39 large and small uninhabited islands.

Here, about 40 kinds of wild animals, including whistling pitta birds, black pigeons, and wildlife are inhabiting. In addition, a layer of bright coral reefs spreads out in the sea, making the entire island a treasure trove of nature. These wildlife can only be observed from a sightseeing cruise ship as the island is not accessible on foot, protected by the Dadohae Maritime National Park.

This island is called Baekdo Island due to the white appearance from a distance, and it is also called "白島" (a swan) by subtracting a stroke from the Chinese character: "百" (no. 100). There are many strange and beautiful rocks in Baekdo Island, such as Gakshi rock, Gungjeon rock, Seobang rock, Mae rock that creates a magnificent view.

At the length of 560m and 1.72km in length when the roads are connected, Geomun Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge that connects Seodo Island and Dongdo Island in Geomundo Island. It connects Seodo Island and Dongdo Island, the two largest islands of Geomundo Island, and opened on September 18, 2015 after a groundbreaking ceremony on October 22, 2010. It was also called "Geomungyo Bridge" at the time of construction.
