🌊 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.
