Gimnyeong Beach
Gimnyeong Beach is a beautiful beach located on the eastern coast of Jeju Island, known for its crystal-clear waters and peaceful atmosphere. The beach is surrounded by scenic volcanic rocks and lush greenery, making it a perfect spot for relaxation and nature walks. It is also popular for its calm waters, making it ideal for swimming and family-friendly activities. With its serene environment and stunning views of the ocean, Gimnyeong Beach offers a tranquil retreat for visitors seeking a quiet escape on Jeju Island.
Manjanggul Lava Tube
Manjanggul Lava Tube is one of the largest and most well-preserved lava tubes in the world, located on the eastern side of Jeju Island. Formed approximately 700,000 years ago during volcanic eruptions, this underground cave system stretches for over 7 kilometers, with about 1 kilometer open to the public for exploration. The tube is renowned for its stunning natural formations, including intricate stalactites and stalagmites, as well as the impressive "lava columns" that showcase the power of volcanic activity. As a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site, Manjanggul offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience the raw beauty and geological wonders of Jeju Island’s volcanic landscape.

Jeju Local Restaurant offers an authentic taste of the island’s culinary heritage. From traditional dishes like black pork BBQ and Jeju seafood stews to tangerine-based desserts, these restaurants serve locally sourced ingredients that reflect the island’s unique flavors and culture. Whether you're looking for a cozy family-run eatery or a more upscale dining experience, Jeju’s local restaurants provide a true taste of the island's food traditions.
Haenyeo Museum
Haenyeo Museum is dedicated to the history, culture, and life of the Jeju Haenyeo, the island’s legendary female divers. The museum showcases the unique lifestyle of these women who dive without oxygen tanks to harvest seafood from the ocean. Through exhibits, artifacts, and multimedia presentations, visitors can learn about the rich heritage of the Haenyeo, recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. The museum offers a fascinating glimpse into the resilience and spirit of these women who have been an essential part of Jeju’s culture for centuries.
Seongsan Ilchulbong - Seongsan Sunrise Peak
Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak, also known as Sunrise Peak, is one of Jeju Island's most iconic natural landmarks. Formed by a volcanic eruption around 5,000 years ago, this crater rises dramatically from the ocean and offers breathtaking views, especially during sunrise. Visitors often hike to the top early in the morning to witness the stunning sunrise over the Pacific Ocean. As a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site, Seongsan Ilchulbong is a must-see for nature lovers and those seeking an unforgettable experience in Jeju.
