🐚 “A day in Aewol, capturing the wind” — Emotional Jeju Aewol Travel Guide

#TravelGuide #Aewol

Jeju Island is a place that I never get tired of no matter how often I go. Among them, Aewol is a neighborhood where the leisurely feeling of Jeju’s ocean and trendy sensibility coexist, so I’ve been visiting it the most recently. On this trip, I was able to enjoy ‘rest’ itself by drinking coffee while looking at the ocean and taking a walk along a quiet alley.

1. Starting the morning with the ocean – Gwakji Beach Walk

The first place I visited on the day I left for Aewol was Gwakji Beach. When I walk along the beach while listening to the sound of the waves, my mind feels really relaxed. The water is close to emerald, so the pictures come out pretty. There are hardly any people in the early hours, so I can feel private.

2. Breakfast and lunch – A bowl of momguk at a local restaurant

My first meal that day was momguk, one of Jeju’s traditional dishes. The warm and deep soup flavor really soothes my stomach. There are quite a few simple and delicious restaurants in Aewol, so even if you go into a place that catches your eye, the chances of failure are low.

3. Emotional Recharge – Relaxing at a Seaview Café

When you think of Aewol, you think of a café. A cup of coffee while looking out at the ocean outside the window at a popular sunset café. The tangerine latte is also a delicacy. I sat there without realizing how much time had passed while looking at the ocean view beyond the large windows.

4. Quiet Afternoon – Walking along the Aewol Handam Trail

If you feel better after a cup of coffee, it’s time to walk! The Handam Trail is a place where you can feel the true charm of Aewol. If you walk slowly along the path that stretches along the ocean, you will feel your mind clear and your head will be organized.

5. Ending the Trip – A Relaxing Drink with Tangerine Mochi at the Accommodation

This time, I booked a private accommodation in Aewol, and after checking in, welcome tea and tangerine mochi were prepared. In the evening, I finished the day with a can of Jeju craft beer and tangerine mochi while looking out the window at the sunset. It was truly healing.

🌅 In conclusion

Aewol is quiet but trendy, emotional but local. It was a trip where I could walk slowly along the sea, organize my thoughts, and recharge my energy. I want to come back next time during the tangerine harvest season. Aewol's emotions are always right.
