About the festival

The Jindo Miracle Sea Road Festival (진도 신비의 바닷길 축제) runs on the few spring days when low tides expose a 2.8 km, 30–40 m wide seabed path between Hoedong village and Modo island on Jindo, Jeollanam-do. The 46th edition ran 17–20 April 2026; 2027 dates will follow the tide tables, probably in March or April. Admission is free. Walk the seabed for about an hour at low tide.

Transport, booking, crowd and accessibility details are on the main Jindo Miracle Sea Road Festival page, which covers every edition.
