Yongmeorihaean Coast

용머리해안 · Jeju · Beaches & islands

Yongmeorihaean Coast is a hydrovolcano rocky shore formed by the accumulation of volcanic debris erupted from three craters under the sea. The coastal cliffs look like a dragon's head ('Yongmeori') due to long periods of sedimentation and erosion. The oddly shaped cliffs created by the waves provide a magnificent scene. The shore platform by the sea serves as a walking trail. Along the road down to the seashore is the Hamel Monument, in remembrance of Hamel who drifted to this place.◎ Travel Information to Discover Hallyu’s Charm - K-Drama "Alchemy of Souls (2022)"In Episode 2 of the K-Drama "Alchemy of Souls," this is where Jang Uk (Lee Jae-wook) ends up while searching for Mu-deok (Jung So-min), who had fallen into the Gyeongcheondaeho Lake. Jeju’s Yongmeorihaean Coast impresses with its unique and beautiful scenery created by rock layers carved by the waves.
