This most unusual yet “hidden” beach is an authentic spot on the North-East coast of Jeju. Quieter than the popular tourist spots on the island, we didn’t see any foreigners but only families with small kids. Like a photograph, white sand has interspersed flat patches or bars of black lava stone, which heats the shallow clean water framed by grass blowing in the wind. The effect is both mesmerizing and warming. It has a shower & changing room, as well as permanent (free) umbrellas and cabanas on the public beach. Prices on the poles are for food delivery. The convenience store Nice to CU has everything: microwave and instant food for meals, life jackets, snorkels, electronic ear buds, alcohol and nonalcoholic drinks, raincoats and funky sun hats. Its white sandy beaches and umbrellas make for a lovely day trip an hour from the airport.

Gimnyeong Seongsegihaebyeon Beach is a beach in the north east part of Jeju island, South Korea and offers a big beautiful white sand beach. The water is a cross between jade and cobalt-blue with clean white sand. There are also lots of volcanic rock out crops that you can explore as well since it is relatively close to the island’s volcano. Not far from the beach is Manjanggul Cave, which is a huge volcanic cave and is pretty awesome experience and I recommend visiting it if you have the opportunity.
The beach is well maintained and the water is beautiful. There were plenty of lifeguards on duty when we were there and it is very family friendly. There is also a large changing station you can use for a small fee which is well worth it.

Happened to visit this beach by chance on the way to Hamdeok. But it did not disappoint. Clear blue waters with the backdrop of wind mills was amazing. There was a lot marine life near the shore which you can peek on through the clear waters.. The only thing which put me off is that one can't wade into such lovely waters..

I liked this beach. We went there on a really windy day so it was... Windy.
What was quite strange is you get down to shoulder level in the water then there is a hill and you end up at ankle level again. It was quite a strange experience. However it's probably a barrier to stop you going any further (?) but I didn't take note cos I am a rebel, the waves were awesome at that point. Eventually the lifeguard got tired of my antics and called me back in. He said it was because there were jellyfish out there... Unless the Korean for "you silly tourist" sounds like jellyfish?!?
The black rocks (lava?) were quite awesome to hunt for crabs but there were these bugs that looked like flesh eating ones from the mummy so that freaked me out a little.
You can get here from Jeju bus terminal using the 701 bus (3,000 KRW). There is a stop for it about 40 mins in. It's near Manjangul cave (6,000 KRW taxi) so worth combining it with a trip with that.

Should be your must do list for photography activity. There is car park & toilet nearby. All Jeju coastal are unique scenery but this place has its own specialty. Good place to relax and chill.

Unlike Samyang Beach where you get black sand, this beach has big black volcanic rocks on the white sandy beach. Basically frequented by locals. Beyond the beach, one can see a number of wind turbines.

Nice beach to see north of jeju. Lots of parasailing activities and windmill stations to see. Not bad for a stop to see the place.

Even though it was rather cold and windy our visit to Gimnyeong Beach walking over the beautiful white sands and volcanic black rocks was a bit of fun for young and old. With a little more time we would have included a hike along the Gimnyeong Geo Trail (Course A and Course B) which starts at the main carpark to discover some of the unique features of this part of the north eastern coastline of Jeju.

Infamous beach that often came up in K-drama or Korean song videos.
The water is truly blue, very clean ocean with iconic wind turbine on the background. Cool place to chill. We ate at ice cream shop there.
