Best beaches in Jeju
A side-by-side comparison of Jeju's main beaches — Hyeopjae, Hamdeok, Gwakji, Woljeongri, Jungmun, Sinyang, Iho Tewoo — by what each is best for.
Gwakji Beach
Gwakji Beach pairs a quieter west-coast alternative to Hyeopjae with a natural mineral spring foot bath and one of Jeju's better sunset spots.
Hamdeok Beach
Hamdeok's Seoubong Beach has some of Jeju's most vividly turquoise shallow water and an easy hilltop view — here's when to swim and what to expect.
Hyeopjae Beach
Hyeopjae Beach pairs white coral sand with turquoise water and a Biyangdo island view — when to swim, what it costs, and how crowded it gets.
Iho Tewoo Beach
Iho Tewoo Beach, minutes from the airport, is Jeju's easiest sunset stop, known for its red-and-white horse-shaped lighthouses rather than swimming.
Jungmun Saekdal Beach
Jungmun Saekdal Beach is Jeju's main resort beach and its most established surf spot, with black-and-white sand and the island's biggest jet ski scene.
Sinyang Beach
Sinyang Beach is Jeju's main windsurfing and kitesurfing spot, a reef-bottomed bay near Seopjikoji better suited to wind sports than swimming.
Woljeongri Beach
Woljeongri Beach pairs turquoise water with Jeju's most famous beachfront cafe strip and the island's most active kayak and paddleboard rental scene.
