Hyeopjae Beach, Jeju
Crushed shell in the sand turns the water emerald, with the island of Biyangdo square on the horizon. Shallow enough to wade a long way out.

Getting to the start
Jeju Airport
제주공항
Public transport here is genuinely awkward. Allow extra time.
About 1h10 in the air from Gimpo to Jeju, then roughly an hour west along the coast road. Buses run from the airport but not often.

Hyeopjae Beach
Hallim, Jeju · 2hReckoned the brightest water on Jeju's west coast. Crushed shell in the sand turns the sea emerald, and the island of Biyangdo sits square on the horizon. The water is shallow enough that you can wade a long way out and still be knee-deep.

Good to do next
- Yongmeori Coast Half-DayWest Jeju · Half day
A walk between cliffs running into the sea below Sanbangsan — Jeju's oldest volcanic formation. It closes often, depending on the swell.
- Dongmun Market Half-DayJeju City · Half day
The island's biggest permanent market, close enough to the airport to fit into an arrival or departure day.
- Seogwipo Falls & the Lava CliffSeogwipo, Jeju · Half day
A waterfall you reach on foot from town, and a cliff of hexagonal columns where lava met the sea. On Jeju's south coast this is the pairing with the least walking.
