Located on the western part of Jeju, Hyeopjae has got a beautiful white sand beach, made of shell powder. This breathtaking cobalt-blue water reminds you of the Mediterranean sea. Gorgeous Hyeopjae beach where both foreigners and locals find exceptionally exotic, is a perfect place for a quiet date. Since the water is quite shallow, it is very recommendable for family with young kids.



2. Sehwa Beach (Jeju)

Sehwa Beach is said to be the most beautiful beach in the eastern part of Jeju while Hyeopjae beach represents west coast. Despite being small, rocks and emerald water are fantastically harmonized. Since its breathtaking beauty is only known to handful of native Jeju residents, Sehwa beach is always clean and serene. You could be the first foreign traveler setting foot on the emerald beach.

High skyscrapers and big hotel chains are situated along the coast, and there are tons of fashionable restaurants, pubs and shopping malls. During high season (July~Sep), this beach is filled with young, hot, sexy and horny people seeking opportunities. Nightlife of Haeundae district during the high season is even more exotic than the beach itself.
