Hyeopjae Beach (협재해수욕장)

Hyeopjae Beach is one of Jeju Island's most-recognized coastal beaches, set on the northwestern coast in the Hallim area as a long curving stretch of white sand framed by the offshore Biyangdo Island silhouette in the distance. The beach combines a wide stretch of fine white sand with shallow tidal water in vivid emerald-and-turquoise tones (the color comes from the volcanic-rock seabed plus crushed shells in the sand), a back-beach edge framed by mature pines and casual restaurants and cafés, and the Hyeopjae-area camping ground for those seeking a beach-side overnight stay. The visual contrast of the white sand, emerald water, and Biyangdo silhouette has made Hyeopjae one of Korea's most-photographed beaches. Pairs naturally with Hallim Park (next door) and Hallim Port for a half-day northwestern-Jeju coastal loop.
