Why go

Gwangchigi Beach is one of Jeju's most distinctive coastal landscapes — a beach where dramatic basalt rock formations are revealed at low tide, creating a uniquely volcanic-island scenery. The beach faces Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak), making it one of Jeju's strongest sunrise photo destinations. For travelers visiting Jeju and serious about distinctive coastal geology, Gwangchigi is one of the strongest single picks. Best at low-tide sunrise for the most dramatic combination.
