Follow Sunset Coast Road along Jeju's southwestern sea

Sunset Coast Road follows the southwestern shores of Daejeong and Hangyeong, linking sea views and coastal villages. Plan stops at several points to see the ports around Ilgwa-ri, Sindo-ri and toward Gosan, the rocky shore and the evening sea.

Official tourism sources describe the extent of Sunset Coast Road and Gosan Ilgwa Coastal Road slightly differently. Build an itinerary around the viewpoints and travel sections you will actually visit rather than treating the whole road as a single precisely defined walking distance.

Choose stopping places before planning a coastal drive

Choose harbors or viewpoints with parking before planning to drive the entire road in one go. Allow time for photos and breaks at each stop, and leave time to reach your accommodation after sunset.

A trip along this road is a scenic itinerary with starting and ending points you choose. If also visiting Suwolbong that day, leave time for stops toward Gosan and avoid adding a distant harbor late in the day.

Travel conditions for cycling and family drives

Some sections of the coastal road are shared with ordinary vehicles, so the entire roadway is not a walking path. If cycling, check the marked cycling sections and access conditions; keep family walks within permitted spaces.

Do not ask the driver to stop suddenly to see dolphins or a particular sunset. Park in a designated place and use actual pedestrian areas to observe the sea.

Travel from Daejeong and Sindo toward Gosan

The representative address identifies a location along the coastal road, not a single entrance. Save the harbor or viewpoint you plan to visit separately in your navigation app, and do not stop wherever you choose based only on the road's name.

After Sunset Coast Road, consider Suwolbong Geo Trail or Sanbangsan Mountain. 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.
