Hyeopjae-ri is one of the most iconic coastal villages on the western side of Jeju Island. It is world-renowned for its remarkable contrast of black volcanic rock, fine white sand, and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Facing the shore is the scenic Biyangdo Island, which serves as a magnificent backdrop for sunset watchers. Hyeopjae Beach is the heart of the village, characterized by its shallow waters and family-friendly atmosphere. Adjacent to it lies Geumneung Beach (금능 해수욕장 야영장), which has a more tranquil vibe and a well-equipped campsite positioned among palm trees. A scenic coastal path connects the two beaches, providing wide-open views of the emerald sea. Local culinary highlights include fresh seafood caught by the legendary Haenyeo divers and the famous Jeju black pork. Nearby attractions like Hallim Park offer botanical gardens and unique lava tubes to explore. The village is easily accessible via express bus or car from Jeju International Airport.
