What to do and see in Seogwipo, Jeju Island: The Best Sights & Landmarks

June 14, 2021 Deane Carmody

On the south side of Jeju Island, Seogwipo offers swanky hotels, rugged cliffs, popular beaches and gorgeous waterfalls. The volcanic-rock cliffs located around Jungmun beach are a wonder. Make sure to visit the viewing platform to take in the spectacular vistas. A coastal city, Seogwipo's many activities revolve around the ocean, including diving and submarine tours. Many of the restaurants specialize in fresh, local seafood. There's also much to see and do inland, including temples, art museums, amusement parks and botanical gardens.

Daepo Haean Jusangjeolli Cliff

Reviewed By raghu67 - Bengaluru, India

One can have a magnificient view of basalt stone pillars formed along the coast due to sudden cooling and solidification of the Lava which flowed into the sea. The sudden contraction of molten lava due to the cooling effect of water has resulted in these rocks splitting into polygonal columns and forming a coast of almost 2 km long. This attraction is worth the visit and can be reached directly by trekking from Cheonjeyeon falls or taking a bus and pass thru the garden (Jusangjeollidae Promenade) and then reach the cliff at the end. Walking around the garden would be relaxing and one should not miss it. Wooden Platforms have been built to reach the end of the cliff and for a better view of the coastal line.

Yakcheonsa Temple

Reviewed By aijako - Seoul, South Korea

We visited Yakcheonsa Temple on our Jeju Olle Trail Route 8. This temple looks delightful because of its architecture and beautiful surrounding scenery. The views from the second floor were amazing! We even had a chance to ring the bell and make wishes here! A recommended place for photographers to get vivid pictures. You can also experience a temple stay activity in this Buddhist temple.
