Yeonpyeong Island lies in the West Sea off Incheon, where a visit is shaped as much by the boat timetable as by the landscape. Incheon’s official island portal describes Daeyeonpyeong as a northern island known for its clean waters, crab and layered history. The island’s setting near the maritime border also gives the trip a distinct character: this is a lived-in community and a place associated with security and peace, not a resort strip built around easy day-trip access. Visitors who come prepared can encounter quiet shoreline scenery alongside difficult, recent history.
Daeyeonpyeong is part of Yeonpyeong-myeon in Ongjin County, Incheon. The island portal gives its area as 6.26 square kilometers and places it about 81 kilometers from Incheon’s coastal passenger terminal. It lists the passenger ferry between Incheon and Yeonpyeong at roughly two hours; a route table estimates about 150 minutes and names Korea Ferry as the operator. These are published estimates, not a promise for every sailing. Weather, seasonal operations and route calls can affect travel time.
