Wido Beach in South Korea

Wido Beach in South Korea is a widely popular tourist spot which is noted as a fabulous swimming beach. The excellent scenery of the Wangdeungdo Island makes a favorite tourist destination to the nature lovers as this beach remains engulfed by the surrounding mountains and its shallow crystal clear water makes it tremendously popular among family vacationers. While visiting the Wido Beach one should also plan a tour of the entire island and enjoy sea fish-hooking.
