Hyeopjae Beach

Getting around: From Jeju City, take a bus (about 40-50 minutes) or drive along the western coastal road toward Hyeopjae.
Hours: Open 24 hours as a public beach; swim season with lifeguards typically runs July-August.

Hyeopjae is a white-sand beach on Jeju's northwest coast with clear, shallow water and a view toward Biyangdo, a small offshore island, giving the scene a distinct sense of openness compared to more enclosed coves elsewhere on the island. It's a favorite for both swimming and simply sitting with a view, generally less crowded than Hamdeok while offering similarly striking water color.

It pairs well with a broader western Jeju coastal drive, since Hallim Park and other west-side attractions are within reasonable distance.
