Ever wondered about the natural phenomenon of Jeju Island?  Here is our breakdown of favorite things to not miss when visiting Jeju Island!

Beaches of Jeju Island

Without a doubt, Jeju Island has the best beaches unmatched by any other provinces throughout Korea.  Whether it may be golden, black, or white sand, all beaches have unique characteristics and ambience.

The most popular destination will be HyeopJae beach which is located in the western side of Jeju Island.  Its unique characteristic is definitely the tropical looking island (Biyangdo) floating in the distance.  White powdery sand, crystal emerald sea, a floating island in the distance, and fried chicken ready to be ordered…what more do you want?

Jungmun beach is also one of the most popular beaches in Jeju Island.  Although the sea is not a as clear as Hyeopjae it has nice waves to show off your surfing skills.  The rocks nearby also has great snorkelling activities.  The beach lies right next to Hyatt Hotel (the Dr. Who Robot looking building) so if you feel like having a luxury getaway, Jungmun beach is the answer.

Samyang Black Sand Beach may not be the cleanest beach but it redeems itself by providing KILLER sunsets.  Stroll along the black sand whilst witnessing the red sun setting behind puffs of grey clouds.  Romantic evening walks at the beach anyone?

Another one to mention is Udo beach.  Although it can be a bit of a pain to take a ferry to the island, the quality of the sand and sea is the purest amongst all other beaches in Jeju Island.  Looking for some quiet time for healing?  Udo beach is the place to be!  Unless you are staying on Udo overnight don’t forget to catch the last ferry at 5pm!  Sad times…i know… 🙁

    These are really great opportunities, I love surfing. Surfing changes the way you look at your everyday life. Sport teaches you not to give up, to move forward, because there is always a bigger wave. Otherwise, you will slide down.

    To see the whole world under you and find harmony — that’s why thousands of tourists find themselves at the foot of the mountains. They follow the dream and return home with new experiences and a dozen stories about climbing. Collect some of your own stories, conquer the top.

    Despite all sorts of restrictions due to Covid, if you really want, you can find enough places to travel. Your tour operator can offer the best destinations based on your preferences. But do not forget to take into account all the specifics of the risks, study the refund process here https://help-center.pissedconsumer.com/get-help-with-edreams-questions-can-i-get-refund-from-edreams-com/ to protect yourself

    This is just a fabulous place. I hope that soon I will be able to visit this island. So far I have a very busy travel schedule. It’s good that I found the link https://businessclassconsolidator.com/destinations/business-class-flights-to-europe-uk-london/ and organize my flights without any problems. I often have emergency trips. And managers help me find a good flight for a reasonable price.
