What the campaign says about it
On the beach in front of Sanbangsan Mountain, you will find a rock cliff that is millions and millions of years old. Yongmeori Coast gets its name from a rock formation that resembles the head of a dragon heading into the sea. The cliff, which has been cut and carved by powerful waves, has a strange shape and curves that gracefully bend around the coastline like waves. Traces of sedimentation and erosion carved into the caves and cliffs along Yongmeori Coast are evidence of just how long it took nature to create the Beach. Yongmeori Coast is the oldest volcanic formation in Jeju-do, and it takes roughly 30 minutes to go around it on foot. Access is prohibited during high tide or in bad weather conditions, so be sure to check the conditions before visiting.
