DaeIjak island with Puldeng sand island unveiling like a mirage, calm fishing place and relaxation

如同海市蜃楼一般矗立在海中的沙岛，拥有安静的钓鱼台和醇厚人心的大伊作岛

 
There is one story about the name of Ijak island, dividing it into DaeIjak island and SoIjak island. From the late Goryeo period to the early part of Joseon, this area was occupied by pirates called “Haejeok” in Korean. So it is called “Heajeok Island” and it has beenfinally turned to “Ijak Island”.

伊作岛分为大伊作岛和小伊作岛，从它的名字也不难看出这里面包含着一个海盗的故事。一直到高丽末期，朝鲜初期，这里都一直被海盗占据着，因此一直称为“夷狄岛”，后来改名“伊作岛”。

Dae Ijak Island, located 44km from Incheon and about 200m from SoIjak Island, is not a big island. The length of the beach is only 18km and the population is about 280. However, it is very popular for travelers because the sea water is especially pure and the clean white beach and pine tree forest on the beach make a beautiful landscape. Also, Puldeng Sand Island, which is unveiled when an ebb tide comes, is one of its most famous scenes. Around the beach, there are some spots for fishing from the rocks on the seashore so the people who want to enjoy fishing calmly can be satisfied. Also, the view from the top of Mt. Bua is beautiful. From Mt. Bua, we can gather wild edible greens such as the roots of bellflowers, Deodeok (codonopsislanceolata) and Solomon’s seals. DaeIjak Island doesn’t have public transportation, hotels and lodges. It is necessary to use home-stay cars when you travel.

距离仁川44Km，距离东边的小伊作岛200M左右，然而大伊作岛并不是一个多么大的岛。海岸线长度不过18KM，居民人口数量约280名左右。但是它的海水非常清澈，再加上干净的白沙滩和郁郁葱葱的海岸林，形成了非常优美的景色，在游客中的口碑极好。每次涨潮退潮后，在大海中间如同海市蜃楼一样出现的沙岛，是大伊作岛最有名的景观之一。海边分布着岩石钓鱼台，正是那些喜欢安静钓鱼的游客们的好去处。站在负儿山山顶眺望也是一件非常大快人心的事情，还可以享受到在山上挖桔梗、沙参、玉竹等野菜的趣味。大伊作岛上没有公车等大众交通工具，也没有旅馆等住宿设施。因此想要去的话，需要提前租借民宿提供的车辆。

DaeIjak Island has a project in the works to build a seaside eco village based on original nature such as Puldeng and migmatite. It is also good news for travelers that a road to enjoy walking along the beach is set up and they are making places to experience marine life and building an eco-environmental instruction center.

现在，大伊作岛正以伊作岛上固有的绿地和混成岩等生态资源为基础，打造海洋生态村。正在建设一条可以在海边散步的海岸探访路，以及大海体验空间、生态环境解说中心，因此期待这些建设项目能够为来大伊作岛的游客带来好消息。
