A community market beside Hamdeok Beach
Visit Jeju describes Hamdeok Folk Five-Day Market as having about 40 stalls selling clothing, farm and seafood products, hardware and food. It offers a glimpse of a local market where residents buy everyday necessities, rather than a row of tourist-souvenir shops.
Official tourism photos show the market entrance sign and aisles. Leave room for shoppers and vendors to move through the market, then consider a separate walk at Hamdeok Beach after browsing.

Market-day listings conflict; confirm your visit date
Visit Jeju and the Korea Tourism Organization list the 1st/6th-day cycle. However, the original Jeju market registry lists an opening cycle of the 5th and 10th, so the sources conflict. To confirm your schedule, contact the market before finalizing your visit.
Visit Jeju lists 08:00–14:00 and says stalls tend to pack up around 14:00. The source does not state whether the market opens or closes specially on the 31st, so this information alone cannot determine whether it operates that day.

Browse farm and seafood products and everyday goods in the morning
You can browse everyday goods such as clothing, farm and seafood products, hardware and food. Do not assume a particular product or stall is available every time; check with the market in advance if you are looking for something specific.
To avoid carrying food during a beach walk, browse the market first, put your purchases in your car or another storage place, then head to the coast.

Note the parking location and return direction first
Official sources do not confirm whether the market has multiple entrances. After arriving, note the entrance you used with a photo or map note, and record your car-park location or bus stop.
If you plan to visit Hamdeok Beach after the market, check the route back to your starting point on a map in advance. Crowds and shop closing times vary by market day, so avoid scheduling a fixed meal or beach time without checking.
