Views of the sea off Bomok and Seopseom Island from Jejigi Oreum
Jejigi Oreum rises near the Bomok-dong coast, with summit views of Seopseom Island and the sea south of Seogwipo. The government register describes its character as a lava dome formed by erupted trachyte, allowing you to compare its terrain with the more typical scoria cones.
Stories about its name include a resemblance to a stack of harvested grain and a person who once guarded a temple. Parts of the southern slope are steep with exposed rock. Observe the hill from designated trails without descending onto off-trail slopes or into rock caves.

A short walk that allows for sea views and the climb
Jeju’s official register describes Jejigi Oreum’s trail as maintained. After checking the currently open entrance and trail on site, this guide suggests 40~80 minutes for the ascent and descent together. A low elevation does not mean the trail has no slopes or steps.
First plan to return to the same entrance while leaving time for sea views at the summit. The government register mentions summit exercise equipment and a telescope, but check separately whether they currently work and are available. Do not plan an itinerary that promises their use.

Climbing at a pace suited to children and older adults
Families can view the sea from land in Bomok Village before deciding whether to continue up the oreum. With children or older adults, check the steps, slopes and resting places at the entrance. Do not make reaching the summit for sea views compulsory for anyone who finds the climb difficult.
Read the story of the former temple in the rock cave as background to the place. Observe the sea, forest and volcanic hill from the trail instead of approaching rocks or caves on the steep southern slope. Shorten your walk when conditions are wet or windy.
