Seopjikoji Cape
Seongsan-eup
Seopjikoji Cape juts out into the sea from eastern Jeju, not far from the impressive volcanic cone of Seongsan Ilchulbong. Unique among Jeju's coastal sites, the cape is made of red volcanic ash, or scoria. Gentle hiking trails take you along the cape's fields and hills, providing lovely views of the sea and surrounding area. Jeju's native horses graze here, and in spring, the fields blaze golden with canola blossoms. The Phoenix Island Villa Condo & Club House owns most of the cape. The resort includes Pritzker Prize-winning architect Tadao Ando's Glass House, a minimalist concrete and glass cafe and restaurant overlooking the sea, and the Genius Loci, a tranquil mediation garden of concrete, stone, and water.
