Jungmun Saekdal Beach — Attraction in Seogwipo-si

지난달 가족들과 제주도 여행 중 중문 색달해수욕장을 방문했는데 정말 인상 깊은 곳이었습니다. 우선 가장 특별했던 건 이곳의 독특한 모래였어요. 흑색, 백색, 적색, 회색 네 가지 색이 섞인 모래가 햇빛 방향에 따라 다른 색깔로 보이는 게 신기했습니다. 아이들이 이런 색다른 모래를 보고 너무 좋아했어요. 해변 자체는 활처럼 굽어진 모양으로 길이가 560미터 정도 되는데 정말 아름다운 풍경을 자랑합니다. 뒤쪽으로 해안절벽이 병풍처럼 둘러싸여 있어서 마치 그림 속에 들어온 것 같은 느낌이었어요. 특히 문섬, 새섬, 범섬이 보이는 칠십리해안의 절경은 정말 장관이었습니다. 주차는 공영주차장을 이용했는데 무료였고(여름성수기에는 유료), 화장실, 샤워실, 탈의실 등 편의시설도 잘 갖춰져 있어서 가족 단위로 오기에 좋았습니다. 해수욕장 입구 쪽에는 제주 할머니들이 파라솔 아래에서 싱싱한 해산물을 파시는데 바다를 보며 먹는 맛이 일품이었어요. 파도가 다른 해수욕장에 비해 높은 편이라 서핑하는 사람들도 많이 봤습니다. 덕분에 역동적인 바다의 모습을 감상할 수 있었지만, 아이들과 함께 물놀이할 때는 조심해야 했어요. 그래도 1999년 전국 해수욕장 중 수질이 가장 좋다고 선정된 곳답게 물이 정말 깨끗했습니다. 쉬리 촬영지로도 유명한 언덕에서 바라본 해수욕장 전체 풍경이 압권이었고, 야자수와 함께 어우러진 이국적인 분위기도 마음에 들었습니다. 중문관광단지 안에 있어서 접근성도 좋고 주변에 볼거리도 많아서 하루 종일 즐길 수 있었어요. 다만 바람이 조금 강하고 파도가 높아서 어린 아이들에게는 주의가 필요했던 점과 여름철 성수기에는 사람이 많을 것 같다는 점 때문에 별 하나를 뺐습니다. 그래도 제주도에서 꼭 한 번은 가봐야 할 아름다운 해수욕장으로 강력 추천합니다. During our family trip to Jeju last month, we visited Jungmun Saekdal Beach and were truly impressed. The most unique feature was the sand: a blend of black, white, red, and gray grains that shimmer in different hues depending on the sunlight. Our kids were absolutely delighted by this colorful spectacle. The beach itself stretches about 560 meters in an elegant, curved shape, offering breathtaking views. Behind the shore, rugged sea cliffs form a dramatic backdrop, making you feel as if you’ve stepped into a painting. From certain vantage points, you can see Munseom, Saeseom, and Beomseom islets along the Chilseom Coast—an unforgettable vista. Parking is available in the public lot at no charge (note that it becomes paid during peak summer season), and the beach provides well-maintained restrooms, showers, and changing rooms—ideal for families. At the entrance, local grandmothers sell fresh seafood under umbrellas, and enjoying their offerings with the ocean as your view is a true delight. The waves here tend to be higher than at other beaches, so it’s popular among surfers. While it creates an exciting atmosphere, families with young children should exercise caution when swimming. True to its reputation, Saekdal Beach was named the cleanest beach in Korea in 1999, and the water remains remarkably clear. Climbing the hillside filming location for the movie “Shiri” rewards you with a panoramic view of the entire beach, and the tropical vibe created by palm trees adds to the exotic feel. Located within the Jungmun Tourist Complex, it’s easily accessible and surrounded by many other attractions, making it perfect for a full day of exploration. The only downsides were the strong wind and high surf—factors that require extra care for small children—and the likelihood of crowds during peak summer months. Despite these, Jungmun Saekdal Beach is a stunning destination that everyone should experience on a...

The weather was not great when we went, and out of season for swimming, but there were loads of surfers. First let me preface, I am from Australia and KNOW beaches. This one is very different. The sand is course with a mixture of black, red and white sand. The beach us quite wide and surrounded by cliffs. There are volcanic rocks on both sides of the bay and lush vegetation at its back. I liked this beach alot. It had a sheepish access to it, but manageable and more like a ramp. You can walk down from steps at several points from the cliffs. There is also a board walk part way along the beach that goes past a waterfall and surfboard graveyard??? There weren't many people when we went, but I think kin Summer it would be crowded. It is the most famous beach on Jeju. Not my favourite, but worth a visit...

With a slope of 5 degrees and average depth of 1.2 meters, Jungmun Saekdal Beach is characterized by a white arch-shaped sandy shore and four distinctive colored sands of white, black, red and gray called jinmosal. This colorful sandy beach is 560 meters in length and 50 meters in width and has appeared in several dramas and movies thanks to its beautiful scenery created by Jeju Island’s black basalt and jinmosal. The cliffs that line the shore on the right leads to a naturally formed 15 meter-long cave. The cliffs are also a habitat for many rare species, serving as a perfect spot for an ecology tour. Jungmun Beach offers a variety of marine sports such as parasailing, water skiing, windsurfing, scuba diving, rafting, and yacht tour for an exciting vacation...
