As the sun begins to dip, Jeju’s sky and sea are painted in their most breathtaking colors. A horizon burning red, wind turbines lined up like silhouettes, and calm white sand soaking up the last light—anywhere you look, it’s a heart-swelling moment. Still, we’ve gathered Jeju’s can’t-miss spots that hold the prettiest sunsets of all. Head out this evening to end your day in the most beautiful way.
A go-to sunset spot that’s easy to visit thanks to its close proximity to downtown Jeju City. Its signature red-and-white horse-shaped lighthouses at the end of the sandy beach create a picture-perfect scene at dusk. Sunsets vanish in the blink of an eye, so be sure to capture the moment before darkness falls.
A quiet fishing village that feels as if time has stopped, looking out toward Chagwido. The sunset sinking beyond Chagwido—often compared to the back of a whale—is especially beautiful, making this a favorite spot for sunset photos. Don’t miss the local treat sold by the harbor: semi-dried squid (hanchi). Stroll the coastal path that continues toward Suwolbong and savor the fading sky.
One of East Jeju’s signature beaches, beloved for its powder-white sand and emerald sea. Take a walk along the shore and you’ll soon find the sky turning rosy pink at sunset. With plenty of cafes and great restaurants nearby, it’s also a perfect place to pair sunset-watching with dinner.
A coastal road at the far west of the island where rows of massive wind turbines create an unreal, beautiful seascape. When the turbines turn slowly in the breeze beneath a crimson sky over a blue sea, it feels like a painting come to life. We recommend walking the path between the turbines that continues in the direction of Hyeopjae Beach—this is also a fantastic spot for sunset photos.
A hidden gem next to Hyeopjae Beach, and a wonderful place to enjoy the sunset. At low tide, you can wade far out through knee-deep water, and the sun setting with Biyangdo in the distance unfolds like a scene from a painting. It’s a great spot to take your time and soak in the sunset colors spreading across the clear, calm sea.
A southwest coastal drive route that runs with views of the Hyeongje Islets. As you follow the road between Sanbangsan and Songaksan, you’ll come face-to-face with a fiery sunset glowing beyond the islets. It’s one of Jeju’s most memorable drive courses—pull over for a moment and the view will stay with you for a long time.
A pristine East Jeju beach where emerald water meets bright white sand. With fewer crowds, it’s ideal for a peaceful stop, and the sight of sunset colors spreading across the clear, transparent sea naturally calms the mind. Perfect for a quiet sunset break during a drive.
One of East Jeju’s most spectacular viewpoints, where you can take in both Seongsan Ilchulbong and Hallasan. Walk the well-maintained coastal trail to enjoy sweeping ocean views and dramatic cliffs. At sunset, the sky deepens in color with the sea breeze, creating an irresistibly romantic mood. It’s also a great place to end your trip by watching the sunset from the Glass House cafe at the tip of the cape.
