Seaside Escape: East Jeju 🌊

#mytraveldiary

Exploring Seogwipo’s breathtaking east end? Prepare to be wowed by the volcanic magic of Seongsan Ilchulbong 🌋 — that epic sunrise crater you’ve seen all over your feed. If you only have a day, this spot is pure Jeju gold!

Top Spot to Visit:
Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak)
Address: 78 Seongsan-ri, Seongsan-eup, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do
Hours: 07:30–20:00 (open year-round)
Tip: Get there super early for legendary sunrise views and thinner crowds. The hike is short but steep — rock sturdy shoes and bring water! The summit panorama is crazy beautiful and absolutely worth the sweat.

Getting Around: 🚌 Use Jeju Intercity Bus #701 or rent a scooter (fun if you’re adventurous!). Most attractions and cafes in east Jeju are clustered so it’s easy to hop around.

Food Tip: Refuel post-hike with fresh seafood stew at one of the local haenyeo (female diver) restaurants near the entrance — try abalone porridge or grilled cuttlefish, both super fresh!

Extra Tips: Cash is king at smaller eateries, but most big spots take cards. Seogwipo gets breezy — pack a light jacket even in summer! Jeju’s weather can flip fast, so check apps before heading out.
