Samyang Black Sand Beach

Unlike typical white-sand beaches, its most distinctive feature is the wide stretch of black volcanic sand. This black sand is known to be rich in iron and minerals, so in summer many visitors come to enjoy sand-bathing. With relatively shallow water and a broad shoreline, it’s great for walks or light swimming, and it’s also conveniently accessible thanks to its proximity to downtown Jeju City. The striking contrast between the black sand and the blue sea creates a one-of-a-kind scenery you can only feel in Jeju. Highly recommended for travelers looking for a different Jeju beach experience.
