Jindo Island is the third largest island in Korea; the Jindo County is an archipelago of 250 islands. Extreme low tide at the end of February and again in mid-June every year, causes a walkway between the main Jindo Island and a small Modo Island to the south of Jindo. This is a natural land pass 2.9 km long and 10-40 metres wide. The pass stays for about an hour before being submerged again. The event is celebrated by a local festival called ‘Jindo’s Sea Way’. Visitors and tourists throng to watch the phenomenon and walk the path in the middle of the sea.
