Overview
Gwangmyeong Port is a small port on Muui Island overlooking Somuido. In the past, it was a port for boats crossing to Somuuido, but now, with the construction of the Somuuido footbridge, the role of Gwangmyeong Port has changed. Instead of serving as a pier for passenger ships in the past, it has become the terminal for buses carrying tourists visiting the Somuuido Sea Trail. From Yongyudo's Jamjin Pier, you board a ferry to Muuido and get off at Geunmuri Pier; from here, you take the village's public bus to Gwangmyeong Port, and crossing the Somuuido pedestrian bridge connects directly to the Somuuido Sea Nuri Trail. Gwangmyeong Port is also the gateway to Horyonggok Mountain, a popular climbing route in Muui Island. For this reason, along with Hanagae Beach, it has become an important starting point for trips to Muuido and Somuido. Nowadays, pensions and sashimi restaurants are opening one after another nearby, making the area livelier than before. In the past, Gwangmyeong Port was rich in seafood such as shrimp and croaker, and was once exported to Japan, but now it is a popular fishing spot for local fishermen and anglers who catch blue crabs, conch, and webfoot octopus.
