Called the Hawaii of Ansan, Daebudo Island is connected to the mainland through the Sihwa Embankment. Despite this, the island still retains many of the romantic charactaristics of an island. The road to Daebudo is a beautiful drive, connecting many islands together. Particularly interesting is the clustering of Yukdo (six islands): Tando (island of black stones), Buldo (island where there was a Buddha), Seongamdo (island where spirits played), and three other islands. The island residents of Pungdo move to the nearby Dorido Island to pick oysters and short-necked clams in the winter and return to their homes before the Lunar New Year in a unique local custom.

The shores of Daebudo are full of clams, sea snails, goby, flounder, black rockfish and belly greenling. The Daebudo area is also famous for its local specialties: short-necked clams and oysters on Yukdo, fermented turban shells and natural dunggeulle tea on Pungdo, and bajirak kalguksu (noodle with short-necked clams) on Daebudo.
