Reviews of Seopjikoji (Jeju)
Xian You Lim
Nice little free hike, about half an hour, traversing beautiful rock formations by the sea, a lighthouse with panoramic views, a cute set of Alice-in-Wonderland-esque buildings, and a bakery cafe at the end. Really nice to chill and bask in the surroundings.
Vicky Lampert
A beautiful spot at the coast which is worth to visit to have long nice walks with a beautiful view. On the day I went it was very foggy but really mystical. I liked it a lot and had a great time on my travel through Jeju Island. Really liked the lava rocks at the coastal area where you could explore some crabs and little fishes and had a nice coffee break at the glass house.
