Samyang Coastal Road leading to the black-sand shore

Samyang Coastal Road links the village and black-sand beach in Samyang-dong, Jeju City. See the sea and village by day, and a different coastal atmosphere and lighting in the evening.

View Samyang Beach's dark sand and sea from pedestrian areas beside the road. Descriptions of nighttime scenery do not guarantee that every light comes on at a fixed time or that every section is suitable for a night walk.

Add road scenery to a walk at Samyang Beach

Choose a short out-and-back walk from Samyang Beach or drive between several viewpoints. Check which sections actually have sidewalks before planning to walk the whole coastal road.

If the black-sand beach is your main destination, visit Samyang Beach first and add a short look at the road scenery. Plan nighttime viewing within pedestrian sections you have checked in daylight.

Walk with your companions along the coast in the evening

At night, choose lit pedestrian areas rather than the seaward edge, and match your companions' walking pace. Do not step into the roadway for photos with children; switch to an indoor break if the wind is strong.

Before taking night photos, find a wide pedestrian space where children and the rest of your group can wait. Even if the lights look attractive, do not move into the roadway or to the water's edge.

Connect Samyang-dong with the city center or eastern Jeju

Find Samyang-dong on the coast east of Jeju City, then choose whether to continue toward the city center or Hamdeok. If leaving your vehicle at one end and walking, check the return distance and the last public transport connection as well.

After Samyang Coastal Road, consider Hamdeok Beach or Yongduam Rock. 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.
