Every beaches video worth watching in Jeju — in one place

Jeju’s beaches differ from each other in ways that matter for planning. Hamdeok Beach, on the north coast, is frequently cited for its crystal-clear emerald water and relatively shallow profile, making it the practical choice for swimming rather than scenery. Hyeopjae Beach on the west coast is another creator favourite, notable for the white sand and the view across to the nearby Biyangdo volcanic island offshore — a combination that produces one of the island’s more photographically distinctive settings. The south and east coasts offer a different register: volcanic rock formations replace the sandy shore at sites like Yongmeori Coast, where the geological formations warrant the small entry fee, and Woljeong Beach near the east coast combines fine sand with a row of independent cafes that have made it disproportionately popular with local photographers. The consensus position is that the summer months (July–August) compress all of these beaches beyond comfortable capacity, and that June or September offers the same weather with significantly fewer visitors.

The four videos here provide complementary beach coverage. “TOP 17 Things To Do In Jeju Island” identifies the main beach options and ranks them by atmosphere and accessibility, making it the right starting point for building your coastal circuit. Pair it with “Ultimate Jeju Island — South Korea Travel Guide 2025,” which provides the family-and-logistics framing — shallow waters for swimming, cafe options near each beach, seasonal considerations — that turns the list into an operational plan. Together they cover the aesthetic and the practical without needing you to watch the remaining videos to make a decision about which beaches to prioritise.
