An important note on Jeju’s updated bus system and this blog post
From August 2017, Jeju Island implemented a new city and intercity bus system. It increased the number of buses in service, while simplifying the routes, fees and numbering system.
Consequently, the contents of this previously published blog post may have changed. We therefore would kindly request that you consult this page for new bus maps in English on VisitJeju.net, and this page on our blog for a chart of the old and new bus route numbers.
If you read Korean, then the province’s official bus system website is a useful and up-to-date resource. We hope you’ll enjoy your travels on Jeju Island!
Beaches and Cafes in Jeju
“Filled with Youthful Energy”
There are beautiful unexplored zones and small islands along the coast of Jeju Island. The coastal areas bustle with people from all over the world and there are various things for them to do and see. Let’s take a closer look at Jeju’s beaches. You can also find more information on what to do and see while here by consulting VisitJeju.net.
The Unexplored Area Where the Mysterious
Legend of the Blue Sea Exists,
Sinyang Seopjikoji Beach
An unexplored area with the legend of unfulfilled love, Sinyang Seopjikoji Beach cherishes the laid-back, quiet, and natural beauty away from villages. The subtle wind, quite waves, and shallow depth make it the perfect place to enjoy the beach. The navy-blue water displays a variety of strange rocks and bizarre stones that appear and disappear at the low and high tide. The pretty cafes near the beach where you can enjoy the breathtaking views of the beach with Seopjikoji and Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak that are reminiscent of the Alpine meadows are great places to relax for a moment.
