Jebudo (Korean: 제부도) is an island in Jebu-ri, Seosin-myeon, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. It is connected to the mainland by a road that is impassable twice a day due to high tide.[1]
Historically, Jebudo was called "Jeobiseom" (저비섬) or "Jeopbiseom" (접이섬). Both of these terms mean "the island that can be seen from land".[1]
The name "Jebu" possibly arose in the mid-Joseon period, from two characters of the phrase "Jeyakbugyeong" (제약부경; 濟弱扶傾; lit. carrying a child and assisting an old man walk over the mudflats), used in the Thousand Character Classic.[1]
The island has two mountains: Dangsan and Tapjaesan.[1]
The relatively flat coastline contains many large mud flats. Foraging for seafood ingredients in the mudflats is a popular economic and tourist activity.[1]
Jebudo Beach, on the south of the island, is a popular summer tourist destination.[2] The main commercial street is near Jebudo Beach.
