Seopjikoji-ro, Seongsan-eup, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do, South Korea
Great hike by the sea. If you continue passing the light house you will find an arch that frames absolutely beautiful ilchulbong! Entrance is free but parking is 1,500krw
Escape the crowds and discover the serene beauty of Seopjikoji's coastline. Its relative seclusion, likely due to the lack of public transport, makes this coastal walk a peaceful alternative to the bustling Seongsan Illchubong. Allocate at least 1.5 hours and apply sunscreen for this mostly flat, well-maintained trail, where you'll witness a landscape sculpted by time and volcanic fire. Key features include: 1. Red Volcanic Ash & Unique Rock Formations: The coastline's defining characteristics. 2. All In Candy House (올인하우스): a relic of a bygone era, now a poignant reminder of impermanence. 3. Seondolbawi Rock Formation: Striking, jagged rock formations along the coast. 4. Bangdupo Lighthouse (방두포등대): A steep climb, but the most popular spot, expect crowds here. 5. Jeju Glass House: A modern architectural highlight, creating a striking contrast to the rugged landscape. 6. Seopjikoji Grand Swing: An Insta-famous photogenic location with a view of Seongsan Illchubong. 7. The Hyeopja Yeondae Smoke-Signal Station: A historical signal station, silently guarding the coast since Joseon Dynasty. While the parking lot provides essential facilities, be aware that public transport doesn't reach this hidden gem. Plan your journey accordingly, and prepare to be captivated by Seopjikoji's unique charm.
Seopjikoji is a beautiful scenic spot located on the southern coast of Jeju Island, and it's definitely worth a visit! The hiking trail is not too difficult, making it perfect for a relaxing walk while enjoying the stunning coastal views. We visited during this season, and it was incredibly windy—so be sure to dress warmly and hold onto your hat! The combination of dramatic cliffs, ocean waves, and open skies makes it feel like a scene from a movie. It’s also a great place for photos. Whether you're into light hikes or just want to soak in the natural beauty of Jeju, Seopjikoji is a great stop to add to your itinerary. There's no entrance fee, but if you are driving they will collect the parking fee upon your exit.
very beautiful view unforgettable landscapes, sea salty air. Horses graze right in the wild. Black beaches of volcanic rocks. Very reminiscent of the wild beaches of Portugal. I recommend taking a raincoat, just in case.
Bigger route. With more sceneries. There’s a shop and a castle which previously should be operating for horses riding. Some lost horses around the area. Light house is further down and need to queue to go up. There’s some cafes at the end.
