Jeju To-Dos! 🏝️

If you are heading to Korea, Jeju is definitely one of the places you should not miss out on your trip here especially with its stunning views and delicious cuisine! Here’s what I did on my short trip to Jeju!

Day 1️⃣

✈️ Took an early morning flight out of Gimpo Airport to Jeju & collected our rental car at the airport

🐙 Noraba - Stopped by this seafood ramen stall which overlooks the sea and serves up a good bowl of ramen filled with fresh seafood at a relatively affordable price!

☕️ Haejigae Bakery Cafe - Next we headed on over here for dessert which has aesthetic and delicious drinks and bakes with a superb view of the sea.

🏝️ Hyeopjae Beach - On the way to our next location we passed by this beach and decided to stop by and enjoy some time in the sun! The waters are quite blue and clear and you can rent a parasol, mat and floats etc a very nice place to chill!

🍵 Osulloc Tea Museum - For lovers of Tea, this is a place you definitely have to check out as they serve many tea based desserts that are so delicious. You can purchase tea products to bring back at their shop as well!

🛒 Seogwipo Olle Market - Ended the night with a trip down to this local market with many stalls selling local snacks and street food that you can shop and eat at!

Day 2️⃣

🐟 Jungmun Saekdal Tonggalchi - Trying cutlassfish in Jeju is a must and this restaurant serves them as a set with many different sides and other dishes. The meat is tender and sweet and its something I will come back for!

☕️ Landing Coffee - The insta famous cafe has amazing views overlooking the sea with its clear glass windows! Definitely get their financiers here as it is really good with just the right amount of crisp and butteriness

🥯 Seogwipean Bakery - Another popular cafe in the area, they have a large selection of bakes and drinks with a view that is overlooking a huge expanse of the sea

🛍️ Chilseongno Market District - Headed here to shop as most of the famous brands and stores are located along this stretch of streets and shops, so if you are looking for some retail therapy this is one you should come to!

🛍️ Jungang Underground Shopping Mall - Located right next to the market district, they contain a extremely large stretch of shops which are similar to the stalls at Bugis street although the stores tend to lean towards female fashion.

🛒 Dongmun Market - We visited this local market right next to the underground shopping mall and likewise they have winding streets of different stores selling street food, seafood and fresh produce!

🐖 Doldam Black Pork - Located along Jeju’s famous black pork street, they not only use Black Pork, which Jeju is famous for, they dry-age their Pork which concentrates its flavours!

Day 3️⃣

⛴️ Udo Island - Located just off the coast of the eastern part of Jeju, Udo Island is a less well known spot among tourist, but it boasts many splendid views, cafe spots and food as well. You have to board a ferry from the main island to Udo island though!

🏝️ Geommelle Beach - A cliff overlooking a black sand beach, this area has many cafes and water activities for you to do. Try their peanut ice cream which Udo is known for at one of the many stores selling it here!

🦪 Myeongjin Abalone - After heading back to the main island from Udo, we stopped by this place for lunch which as the name suggests is known for their abalone. Definitely get their grilled butter abalone, you won’t regret it!

🚗 Drove Around & Visited Dongmun Market and its surrounding market streets before boarding the flight back to Seoul!
