Located off the southern coast of Korea, Jeju Island is one of the country’s most beloved travel destinations, having been designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve (2002), a World Natural Heritage Site (2007), and a Global Geopark (2010). The entire island is a vast natural wonder that attracts both local and international visitors.
No matter how many times you visit, Jeju always reveals something new and breathtaking. From the emerald waters of Hyeopjae Beach and the black sand shores of Samyang Beach to the iconic horse-shaped lighthouse at Iho Tewoo Beach, the island’s coastal beauty never fails to inspire.
While Jeju can be explored by rental car or bus, its walking trails offer a unique charm. One of the best ways to experience the island’s beauty is by walking the world-renowned Jeju Olle Trail, often likened to the Spain’s Camino de Santiago. The trail circles the entire island, but even a short walk along its scenic sections can be a deeply rewarding experience.
