Chagwido (Korean: 차귀도) is a set of two islands: Jukdo (죽도) and Wado (와도). They are unpopulated, part of a nature reserve, and located in Gosan-ri, Jeju City, Jeju Province, South Korea. They were designated a Natural Monument of South Korea on July 18, 2000.[2][1]
Jukdo was inhabited until 1977. Around that time, there were two households on the island. Beginning in 1978, the islands began to be considered uninhabited.[1]
The larger of the two islands is accessible by a brief ferry ride from the Jeju mainland.[1]
