Seogwipo Jeongbang Waterfall

🌊 Jeongbang Waterfall, Seogwipo (Jeju Island) Visited Jeongbang Waterfall in Seogwipo is one of Jeju’s most famous waterfalls and the only one in Korea that falls directly into the sea. Amazing view. Entry is ₩2,000 per adult, and payment is card only (no cash accepted). The site opens at 9 am, and I recommend coming early for better photos and fewer crowds. The path involves a series of steep steps down to the viewing area. Midway, you’ll find a few local ladies selling fresh seafood (abalone, squid, clams, etc.) under the sun, sitting on small stools overlooking the sea. Prices start around ₩30,000 per plate, depending on what’s available. You can walk down to the foot of the falls but do so at your own risk. The path is rocky, uneven, and can be slippery, especially near the water. If you get close enough, you’ll feel the cool mist from the falls. The climb back up can be quite demanding, so it’s not ideal for the elderly or anyone with knee or leg pain. There are public toilets and plenty of parking spaces (both in front and behind the site). There's a few souvenir shops and sell local tangerines (Oct). This place is definitely worth a visit. It's a beautiful spot with dramatic views of the ocean and waterfall. Not at all strenuous for most visitors.

Although I didn’t make it to the small waterfall, the nearby Zheng He Exhibition Hall is really worth visiting. There is also a small park next to it with a beautiful sea view. It’s a great place to stop by and explore if you’re traveling nearby.

Of the 3 waterfalls that I visited in Jeju, this is the most raw and natural to me. It was also one that you could get the closest to. Son like picking stones and shells there. Very real and intimate waterfall compared to the rest where you had to either walk many steps to or were too far away.

We visited the waterfall on November 17th and it was breathtaking. Highly recommended if you’re in Seogwipo. Lots of free parking and stores selling drinks and snacks. The rocks are quite slippery so do be careful.

Great location for a short stop. Nice views of a waterfall flowing into the sea. Good scenery that's accessible a relatively short walk from where you parked your car. The mists from the waterfall were so cooling in summer. It's like air conditioning.

Great scenery, pretty waterfall and one of a kind experience of eating raw abalone (chewy and strong taste) by the rocks. Will need to climb rocks (safer for bigger kids) to get to the waterfall. Entrance tickets was about SGD$6 for 2 Adult and 3 Children (toddler is free).

A lovely place, definitely worth a visit! The entrance fee is only $1.50. Just be careful — the rocks near the viewpoint at the bottom of the waterfall can be quite slippery, and it’s easy to twist an ankle if you fall.

Very beautiful waterfall that cascades into the ocean. Lots of tourist visit this place and it was a little crowded when we visited so you have to be careful and patient when on the slippery rocky shore. There are many steps down and up from the clifside entry so wear good shoes.
