Mara Island

Marado or Mara Island is an island 8 km off the south coast of Jeju, in southernmost South Korea, having an area of 0.3 km2. It is home to about 90 people, and has long been known for its population being composed of strong women and docile men. It's becoming a popular tourist destination, thanks to the many unusual rock formations, and is connected to the mainland by two regular ferries and numerous excursion boats.

Mara-do is within the administrative boundaries of Daejeong Township in Seogwipo City, and is included, along with Gapa Island, in Gapa-ri, and is South Korea's southernmost point.
