Where dramatic views of the sea and Seongsan Ilchulbong create a picture-perfect coastal scene. Take in the beauty of volcanic rocks and crashing waves — and don’t forget to capture your own iconic photo.

[Haenyeo Diving Performance]
Watch Jeju’s legendary sea women dive into the ocean without oxygen tanks in a powerful live performance. Their strength and connection to the sea is inspiring and humbling. It’s not just a show — it’s living history in motion.
