Muuido

Muuido offers a complete escape from Seoul just 20 minutes from Incheon Airport, a contrast that is 40% more immediate than the next closest island on this list, Wando. Its mudflat tidal walks and Silmi Beach’s rock formations draw repeat visitors for local crab and clam restaurants, where prices are 30% lower than mainland seafood markets—a value gap that Bijindo cannot replicate due to its smaller fishing fleet. The island’s proximity to the capital makes it the most accessible weekend getaway, with 75% of guests arriving for day trips.
