💡 Tips
- Visit the Soesokkak Estuary where freshwater meets the sea; book kayak or boat tours online in advance as they sell out fast.
- Explore the lava coastline at the edge of the village for dramatic black rock formations and tide pools.
- In winter, many local orchards offer tangerine picking experiences (look for signs saying 'Gyul-ttagi').
- Observe the small canals running through the village which carry clear spring water down from Mount Hallasan.
🍽 Food
As this is the citrus capital of Jeju, try the Hallabong ice cream or citrus-infused rice cakes.
Several high-quality BBQ spots near Soesokkak serve premium Jeju pork grilled over real charcoal.
Look for street vendors selling 100% pure juice in bottles shaped like 'Dol Hareubang' (stone grandfathers).

Buy tangerines by the box directly from farmers along Hyodon-ro road for the best price and quality.

Harye-ri is situated on the southern coast of Jeju, right next to the city of Seogwipo. As part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the village is renowned for its exceptional geological features. This is where the Hyodoncheon stream meets the ocean in a series of spectacular estuaries, creating a unique ecological niche. The coastal areas of Geujikoji (게우지코지) and Saengidol (생이돌) showcase the raw volcanic power that shaped the island. Geujikoji is characterized by striking rock formations and jagged reefs that emerge from the deep blue sea, while Saengidol is a tranquil spot favored by local fishers and nature enthusiasts. These areas offer a rugged, off-the-beaten-path experience for those looking to avoid crowds. Nearby, the Soesokkak Estuary is, offering traditional wooden boat rides through a striking lava canyon. Harye-ri is also famous for its high-quality citrus production, particularly the sweet Hallabong oranges. The coastal Olle trails passing through the village provide panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Seogwipo's offshore islets.
