Its name, Seuldo ("seul" meaning the Korean stringed instrument geomungo), was given as the sound of wind and waves hitting the rock island is said to mimic the sound of geomungo. In fact, the sound of waves hitting the island is so good that it is called seuldomyeongpa or the resounding of waves.<br><br>

On the island, there is an unmanned lighthouse dating back to the late 1950s. The main economic activity on the island is fishery.
