If you're looking for a place in Jeju that takes your breath away, Daepo Jusangjeolli Cliff is a must-visit. More popularly known as Jusangjeollidae, this stunning coastal wonder is one of the places I visited when I joined a guided tour to Seogwipo.

Here’s a quick guide to visiting Daepo Jusangjeolli Cliff.


What to Expect at Daepo Jusangjeolli Cliff

Jusangjeollidae is famous for its incredible rock formations. The hexagonal basalt columns look like they've been carefully carved by human hands, but they're actually the result of volcanic activity. Standing on the cliffs and looking out at the ocean, you can feel the power of nature.

When you arrive, you'll find a well-maintained walkway that takes you close to the edge. There are several viewpoints, giving you plenty of opportunities to snap some fantastic photos from different angles. The sound of waves crashing against the rocks adds to the dramatic atmosphere.

In the parking lot, you'll also find small food stalls and souvenir shops. The food stalls are perfect for grabbing a quick bite to eat. I highly recommend trying some local snacks—they're delicious and give you a taste of Jeju's unique flavors. 

The souvenir shops are great for picking up a little something to remember your visit. I bought a printed photo of the rock formations during sunset, and I plan to frame it and display it along with my other travel keepsakes.

How to Get to Daepo Jusangjeolli Cliff

Renting a car is one of the easiest ways to get around Jeju. If you have a rental car, you can use Naver Map for navigation. Just type in "Jusangjeollidae" and follow the directions. The drive itself is quite scenic, and you can make stops along the way to take in the beautiful island views.

For those who prefer not to drive, booking a guided tour via Klook is the most convenient option. These tours often include transportation and a guide, making it hassle-free. Plus, you get to meet other travelers and share the experience with them.

If you're relying on public transportation, then you can get there by bus. From Jeju Intercity Bus Terminal, take bus 600 towards Seogwipo. Get off at the Jungmun Tourist Complex bus stop. From there, it's about a 20-minute walk to Jusangjeollidae. Alternatively, you can use Naver Map to get the exact route from your hotel without having to go to the bus terminal. Public buses in Jeju are reliable, but they can be a bit slow, so make sure to plan your trip accordingly.
