Yongmeorihaean Coast

Yongmeori Coast is a famous coastal-rock formation on Jeju Island's southern coast at Sanbangsan, where eroded volcanic-rock cliffs and shore platforms have been carved by long-term sea action into a curving sequence that resembles a dragon's head and back diving into the ocean — "Yongmeori" literally meaning "dragon head." The walking route along the cliff base threads tide-pool platforms, wind-carved rock walls, narrow stone passages, and overhanging cliff sections, with the open South Sea on one side and the steeply rising Sanbangsan slope on the other. Tides matter — at high tide the lower path is closed, so timing matters for full access. Pairs strongly with Sanbangsan, the Olle Trail Course 10, and Songaksan headland for a coherent southern-Jeju coastal day.
