1. Hamdeok Beach

The beach has beautiful, clear emerald waters (the pictures doesn’t do the place justice as its much better experienced in person), and a really nice cafe by the sea with good pastries. We got there by Bus 101 from CJU airport followed by a short walk. Near the beach there are tons of places to eat, such that you will be spoilt for choice. Easy to hail a taxi there too for those who wants to travel to their next location by cab. Parking lots available too for those who are driving. Highly recommend this place for beach and sea lovers and those who enjoy coffee by the sea.

We stayed on a hotel overlooking the beach and we loved the beach itself and the whole area. Lots of restaurants and bars to choose from and a wonderful beach to stroll along- plus the convenience of the compressed air pumps to clean the sand off your shoes afterwards.

We visited this place while walking the Olle trail route 10 and its great view and fresh seafood were very pleasing and I strongly recommend it. Definitely great to snap some fantastic photos while enjoying the rocky beach. The whole place was very clean and I just really enjoyed my time there chilling and staring at the ocean and volcanic cliffs. It took about 30min to walk the whole path but if you want to take everything in, chill and take some pictures 1 hour and more would be perfect.

I loved visiting Songdo Beach because its really more than a beach as it features a cable car, walking paths around cliffs, and a suspension bridge. Plenty to see and do and lots of restaurants and cafes here too.

388/5000 view of gyeongpo beach in mid-december 2019. The beach is very beautiful for children to play even though the cold wind blows very hard and big waves. the cold experience while walking paid off with a visit to a very large number of seafood restaurants at affordable prices. about 50% cheaper compared to the same menu at the hotel we stayed.

We stayed at Seowipo, near to the seogwipo-si (former) intercity bus terminal and took bus 110 from Jungang Rotary bus stop to Jungmun Tourist Complex. The bus journey about 30 minutes and cost less than 2000won one way. The bus driver could provide change if needed. There was a TV screen at the front of the bus that will flash and announce the current and coming stop in english clearly (Although I did not see Jungmun Tourist Complex on the TV screen, therefore I used GPS to locate instead. You can press the bell to alight. For my other bus trip, the stops were announced correctly and was reliable). We actually stopped that Jungmun Tourist Complex to go the the Teddy bear museum and Cheonjeyeon Falls before proceeding to the beach. Just to note that the bus ride can be a nausea one as the driver usually travel at a high speed as there were many stops they need to embark on. We needed to change bus 702 (opposite the tourist infrmation counter) to Hyeojae beach. It cost 3300 won. The journey on the bus we great as you will pass by paddy field, wind mills and wild flower fields. You will see a beautiful beach 1st ( I think it is Geumneung Beach) but don’t get down, get down at Hyeopjae beach as the view is nicer (about 2 stops away). You can walk down the stretch later (There is a public toilet down the stretch if you need). The weather then (April 26) was 12 to 17 degree Celcius and remember to buy a jacket and windbreaker as it was very windy when we were there. We so blessed that the sky cleared up to reveal one of the most beautiful turquoise beaches I have been. The beach was wide and the colours of the water clear and blue. There are many café where you can buy a hot drink from. Noted that the café only allow you to use the toilet if you buy a drink (the receipt will print the password to get into the toilet). You can always use the public toilet. We decide to walk along the orange and blue ribbon trail (Jeju Olle Route 14) and it was one of the best trail for me. We complete only part of the the trail where we walk through the villages to the fishing port. The route will bring you to a serene path with light house and the wind mills. The the path became rocky nearing the windmills, and we decided to walk out through the rocky back alley of a shellfish place (away from the orange/blue ribbon) and landed at a bus stop. We took bus 702 back to seogwipo. It was a must go beach but only on a clear blue day where the magnificent of the beach will show up.

Naksan Beach is full of wonderful scenery. The beach is very wide and the waves are nice! The clouds in the sky are wonderful and big as if they eat me up. And expecially when the sun is setting, the sky is really beautiful. It will be a very pleasant memory to walk along the beach with people you like. Of course, it is nice to go there alone. There are seafood restaurants nearby. Raw fish and crabs are fresh and delicious:)

Chuam was such a fun beach spot. There’s a beach as well as a suspension bridge and a sculpture park too. It’s a beautiful area to spend the day. #추천웰니스관광지 #wellnesskorea #wellnesstourismsupporters #한국관광공사 #동해무릉건강숲
