Jongdal-ri’s sea below Jimibong and views toward Seongsan

Jongdal-ri Beach lies below Jimibong in eastern Gujwa-eup. Its broad shoreline offers views toward Seongsan Ilchulbong and Udo, suiting a scenic trip that brings eastern Jeju's peak and island into one view.

The coastal road beside the beach is also known for its scenery when hydrangeas bloom. If visiting for flowers, check the season and actual flowering; when there are no flowers, focus on the landscape formed by the beach and Jimibong.

A beach walk and a drive along the Jongdal-ri coast

Consider a short coastal visit followed by Jongdal-ri village or the Seongsan area. Rather than stopping on the road for hydrangea photos, leave your car where parking is permitted and approach through allowed pedestrian areas.

Even when visiting for hydrangeas, leave time for Jongdal-ri’s sea views. If adding a climb up Jimibong, check the ascent and descent time and which paths are open that day separately from the beach walk.

Choose how far to explore the sandy shore with children

A scenic beach walk and swimming are different activities to plan. With children, check the day’s coastal conditions and water-entry guidance, and do not assume every broad stretch of sand toward the sea is a safe play area.

Even when flowers bloom, vehicles still use the coastal road. Choose photo spots with children according to pedestrian space and parking conditions before the quantity of flowers.

Continue from Jongdal-ri toward Jimibong or Seongsan

Save Jongdal-ri Beach in Gujwa-eup as your destination, then choose an onward route toward Jimibong or Seongsan. Jimibong is a separate oreum walk, so a brief beach stop does not include time for reaching its summit.

After Jongdal-ri Beach, consider Seongsan Ilchulbong or Jeju Haenyeo Museum. Rather than fitting them all into one visit, choose one to start with according to your direction of travel and your companions' energy, and check the actual transport connections.
