Jungmun Saekdal Beach

Jungmun Saekdal Beach in Seogwipo, Jeju, has beautiful coastal scenery and palm trees, stretching from the Jungmun Tourist Complex toward Cheonjiyeon Falls and Daepo Jusang Jeolli (columnar joint). Its curved sand beach is about 560 m long and draws over one million visitors a year for water sports, and its sand in black, gray, red and white changes color with the angle of the sun, harmonizing with Jeju's volcanic stones. Frequent, high waves make it popular with surfers, and Korea's largest international surfing competition is held here every June. In a 1999 water quality survey by the Korea Federation for Environmental Movement, it was named the cleanest of 44 beaches nationwide. Swiri Hill overlooking the beach was the filming location of the final scene of the film Swiri and offers some of Jeju's most beautiful sunrises and sunsets.
