Jeju · Beaches & islands

Woljeong-ri, a village located on the east side of Jeju Island, holds the meaning "the moon stays." The beautiful emerald sea spreads out like a picture, and the bright moon shines above it. As more and more travelers visited the beach to appreciate its beauty, many restaurants, cafes, and lodging facilities started to form along the shoreline. Some cafes placed chairs for people to relax in while looking at the sea, which became an iconic photo spot of Woljeongri Beach. · · The beach is also a popular location for a variety of water sports such as surfing, snorkeling, and kayaking. Woljeongri Beach is popular among surfers because it has waves with a uniform x_height that are constantly coming in. The beach is also a part of the Gimnyeong-Hado Olle and Gimnyeong-Woljeong Geotrail Course on Jeju Olle Trail Route 20, and a great spot for tourists to take a break while taking in the beautiful scenery and cool scent of the sea.
