Jeongbang Falls

Getting around: Central Seogwipo, a short walk or taxi ride from downtown.
Hours: Typically open daily, roughly 8am-6pm (seasonal variation).

Jeongbang Falls is one of the few waterfalls in Asia known to drop directly into the ocean, plunging roughly 23 meters off a cliff onto the rocky shore below, a genuinely unusual sight given how rare coastal waterfalls of this scale are. Viewing platforms let visitors see the falls from both above and at beach level, with the ocean backdrop giving it a different character from Seogwipo's forest-set waterfalls.

It's central and easy to reach, making it a straightforward add to a Seogwipo waterfall-hopping day alongside Cheonjiyeon and Cheonjeyeon, though each has a distinct setting worth seeing on its own terms.
