2 Best Sights in Jeju-do, South Korea

A popular attraction for tour groups and families during the day and a romantic stop for couples at night, the picturesque, 72-foot-high falls are surrounded by woods but still just a half-mile walk down a paved path from the parking lot, so they're easily accessible. The area around the falls is known for its diverse plant life and migratory birds, and the water is home to marbled eel.

The 72-foot-high Jeongbang Falls is the only waterfall in Korea that flows directly into the ocean. Though swimming is not recommended, visitors can wade out into the water; when the tide is low it's possible to get quite close to waterfall. On the rocks near the water is an excellent spot for a picnic lunch, or at the top of the cliffs where you can see another nearby waterfall (Sojeongbang) and take in surrounding views at the observatory. Be sure to wear durable, rubber-soled shoes as the rocks can be extremely slippery. Get here early to avoid the crowds.
