Jeju's second city on the southern coast, gateway to Jungmun Tourism Complex, Cheonjeyeon Falls, and many of the island's top natural attractions.

About Seogwipo (South Coast)

Seogwipo is Jeju Island\'s second city, dramatically situated where volcanic cliffs meet the sea. The town is famous for Cheonjiyeon and Jeongbang waterfalls—the latter being one of the few waterfalls in Asia that plunges directly into the ocean. The Olle walking trails along the coast here offer some of Korea\'s most beautiful hiking with views of columnar basalt formations and emerald waters.

The area around Seogwipo is also home to many of Jeju\'s top attractions: the Lee Jung-seop Art Street (named after Korea\'s beloved modern artist), Jungmun Tourism Complex with luxury resorts and Teddy Bear Museum, and the haenyeo (women sea divers) culture centers where you can watch these legendary free-diving women harvest seafood. The surrounding landscape of mandarin orange groves, green tea plantations, and Hallasan National Park makes Seogwipo the island\'s most scenic region.

Good to Know

Late Night Transport

The last airport limousine bus (600 line) to Seogwipo departs around 10:00 PM and takes about 80 minutes. After that, taxis are the only option—expect ₩40,000–55,000 for the cross-island trip. Pre-booking a taxi through Kakao T is recommended for late arrivals. Some resorts in Jungmun offer evening shuttle services.

Luggage Tips

Airport limousine buses have large luggage compartments underneath, ideal for the 80-minute ride to Seogwipo. Taxis can accommodate 2–3 large bags. If traveling with sports equipment (surfboards, golf clubs), arrange a larger vehicle through your hotel or a rental car from the airport.

Accessibility

Seogwipo's coastal paths and waterfall areas involve stairs and uneven terrain—Jeongbang Waterfall requires descending many steps. The Jungmun resort complex is more accessible with paved paths. The Olle Trail has sections suitable for wheelchairs but many segments are natural terrain. Airport buses have low-floor access.
