Oedolgae
Oedolgae is a solitary 20-meter rock pillar standing just offshore near Seogwipo, formed by volcanic activity and shaped over time by wave erosion, tied to a local legend about a woman turned to stone while waiting for her husband lost at sea. A coastal walking path leads to the viewpoint, passing pine forest and rocky shoreline along the way.
It's a relatively quick, scenic stop, often combined with a longer coastal walk in the area, and has appeared as a filming location in various Korean productions, adding to its recognition among domestic visitors.
