This phenomenon occurs regardless of the speed of the tide or waves.
People from all over the world come to witness this miracle and walk the seaway.
As you walk you can find some interesting things.
There is a legend behind this Korean phenomenon. A Jindo village was attacked by tigers and all the villagers ran to Modo island for shelter. All, except for a helpless old woman who was left behind, out of despair she prayed to the Sea God, who split the sea and helped her escape the bloodthirsty animals.
