Located at the southernmost tip, it belongs to Daejeong-eup, with a population of 245 people. It has many names, because the whole island looks like a lid, and is also called "Gai Island" and "Gaibo Island". It takes less than 20 minutes by boat from Musup Port to reach Gapa Island. In recent years, it has become a check-in and photo-taking spot for young people, especially because of the green wheat fields in April and May every year.

The island is not big, and it only takes about an hour to circle the island. Gap Island was once the place where the Dutchman Hendrick Hamel (Hamel), the prototype of the character in "Hamel's Travels", drifted, so you can see the Hamel drifting monument on the island.
