Hyeopjae Beach

Hyeopjae Beach is one of the famous beaches on Jeju Island, a top destination among summer holiday-makers and honeymooners. Visitors come any time of the year but more so during summertime.

Hyeopjae Beach belongs to the west side of Hanrim-eup, which is part of Hallim Park, another popular place to explore Jeju Island's nature.
