About

Geumneung Beach is located in Hallim-eup, Jeju-si, and connects directly to Hyeopjae Beach, a popular spot in the west. It shares similar scenery with its neighbor, including blue water, the cute-shaped island of Biyangdo and soft sand, but it is less crowded and feels relaxed.

The parking lot is connected to the beach, so carrying your belongings is easy, and the newly built shower rooms offer hot water. Visiting at low tide is recommended, when the water recedes far and reveals wide, fine sand and shallow natural pools where young children can play.

Seaweed and small sea snails (bomal) left by the tide become natural toys for kids. Small broken shells are mixed with the sand at the beach entrance, so water shoes are advised.
