-THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-

In South Korea , the sea opens twice a year for just 1 hour. This is the miracle of Jindo, when thousands of people cross the sea on foot.

In South Korea, a special tidal phenomenon causes the sea to open twice a year, allowing free passage between Jingo and Modo islands for a short period of time.

South Korea's Jindo and Modo islands are connected by a rare natural phenomenon called the Miracle of Jindo, where a temporary land bridge emerges from the sea twice a year, allowing people to walk across the exposed seabed for about an hour.

This phenomenon creates a 2.8-kilometer (1.7-mile) path, and the event is celebrated with a festival, often called the Jindo Miracle Sea Road Festival.
