- Seongsan Ilchulbong - Recognized as Jeju’s top natural heritage site. This location also hosts performances by female divers, known as Haenyeo. Note that these performances, scheduled for 2 pm, may be canceled in case of bad weather or heavy rain. Jeju Island was formed by volcanic eruptions, and Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak is said to resemble a castle, hence its name. ‘Ilchulbong’ translates to ‘sunrise peak.’ The peak features 99 stone pillars around its circular edge, giving it a crown-like appearance from above. It takes about 30 minutes to hike from the ticket office to the summit. After reaching the top, visitors can enjoy the Haenyeo performance on the beach below. Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak is one of Jeju’s top 10 scenic spots and is considered the island’s most beautiful location. Note that it is closed on the first Monday of every month, although the path to the Haenyeo performance beach remains open and free of charge.
- Jeju Stone Park - This museum and ecological park showcases Jeju’s rich stone culture. Opened on June 3, 2006, after seven years of construction, the park is extensive and best visited with ample time. Located in front of Oreum, a unique natural heritage site, the park’s entrance is marked by a castle-like structure made of stones. Inside, visitors can follow a path that features various stone sculptures inspired by the legend of Seolmundae Halmang and her son, General Oh Baek. The museum itself is situated underground.

Every day at precisely 2pm, the Jeju Haenyeo performance unfolds on the shores of Seongsan Ilchulbong Beach. However, it might be abruptly called off in case of inclement weather. The display features a 10-minute segment of Haenyeo singing followed by another 10 minutes of Haenyeos showcasing their trade in the ocean. The spectacle doesn’t cost a penny even if you lack a ticket to Seongsan Ilchulbong, as the performance can be witnessed without charge. Every year, the pathway to the left of Seongsan Ilchulbong remains open for everyone to enjoy. After ascending from the open course on the left, descend to the beach to watch the performance. Consequently, it’s advised to report to the parking lot by 1:30 PM to ensure you have ample time to catch the year-end performance.
For a first-hand experience of local Haenyeos busy with their seafood collection, take a scenic drive along the shore road.
