💡 Tips
- Visit Aljakji Beach to hear the unique 'rolling' sound of waves crashing over the smooth, round pebbles.
- Stay here as a peaceful alternative to Jeju City; it’s only 20 minutes from the airport but much quieter.
- Walk along the coastal embankment to reach the iconic lighthouses, which are prime spots for sunset photos.
- Follow the Olle Trail Route 17 markers to experience the best coastal scenery the village has to offer.
🍽 Food
A hearty noodle soup in a rich broth, often more authentic and affordable in village diners than in Jeju City.
Braised hairtail fish in a spicy radish sauce; a must-try at the seafood specialty shops along the coast.
A nutritious and savory porridge, often served as a traditional breakfast using fresh local catch.
🛍 Shopping · 🧘 Quiet spots
A great place to purchase high-quality dried seafood products directly from the local community.
Check out the small boutiques inside cafes selling ocean-themed handmade candles and postcards.
Sit on the smooth stones at low tide; it’s far less crowded than the popular sandy beaches nearby.
The seaside path is beautifully lit and very peaceful for a late-evening stroll.

Hagwi 1(il)-ri is strategically located just west of Jeju City, offering a blend of modern suburban life and traditional island charm. The village is known for its rugged lava coastline and distinctive beaches that stand out from the island's typical sandy shores. Naedo Mongdol Beach (내도몽돌해변) is a rare pebble beach where the sound of waves rolling over smooth stones creates a meditative atmosphere. A short distance away is Ihotewu Beach (이호테우해변), famous for its iconic horse-shaped lighthouses, which are among the most photographed landmarks on the island. This beach is particularly bustling at night, serving as a popular gathering spot for locals and tourists alike. Its proximity to Jeju International Airport makes Hagwi a convenient gateway for travelers. The local dining scene is famous for 'Mulhoe' (cold raw fish soup) and other seafood delicacies. The coastal Olle walking trails passing through the village offer panoramic views of the ocean and the distant city lights.
