Daepo Jusangjeolli Cliff

주상절리대(대포동지삿개) · Jeju · Beaches & islands

Daepo Jusangjeolli Cliff is a stone pillar formed by lava that flowed out of the crater and contracted as it cooled rapidly. It is characterized by its polygonal staircase-like form. The stones are 30 to 40 meters high, hexagonal in shape, and line the coast for about 1 kilometer. The constant crashing of the waves is a highlight not to be missed.
