general information

Jungmun Beach is located on the southern coast of Jeju island and is by far the most popular surfing destination on the island. The beach stretches for approx. 500 meters under a sheer volcanic cliff that provides some wind protection from all directions except southerlies. The wave here is in the centre of the beach and is a mushy type beach break over sand covered volcanic-rock reef. The inside section can get more hollow over the sandbar on lower tides. On good days rollers connect through from outside.

At the surf time of year, (June-Oct) you may also get a chance to see Jeju Island's fabled haenyo, or diving ladies, at work. These elderly women wear home-made diving suits, and use hand-crafted Styrofoam floats as they dive down to harvest shell-fish, octopus, seaweed, and other edibles from the seafloor.
