Taedo Islands, located between Hongdo Island and Gageodo Island, comprises three islands. The island in the middle is called Sangtaedo Island, the island next in line is Jungtaedo Island, and the last is Hataedo, the southernmost island located nearest to Gageodo Island. Deep and clear waters surrounding the islands make for a perfect habitat for marine life. Taedo Islands are popular for seaweed that grows naturally on the rocks, often collected by hanyeo (woman divers). People on Taedo Islands have great respect for nature and perform rituals every year on Seollal (Lunar New Year's Day) for prosperity and safety at sea.

Hataedo Island is known to be first settled by Park Haeng-seo from the Miryang Park family when he moved out from Daeheuksando Island. The island was given its name for being the southernmost island among three clustered islands that produce abundant edible seaweed. Besides the diverse fish that inhabit the nearby waters, attracting numerous fishers, the island is also known to be a heavy producer of edible seaweed, including laver. Although most of the islanders make a living through the fishing industry, black goats are also often seen grazing on green pastures. Hataedo Island's beach is only 300 meters long, but boasts pristine beauty.
