The day begins before sunrise, the van easing onto the Sunrise Coastal Road as the ocean dares you to look away. Sea spray, basalt cliffs and a string of cafés set the rhythm for a full-day loop across Jeju’s eastern flank—Manjanggul’s dark tunnel, the haenyeo’s waterfront rituals, Seongsan Ilchulbong’s crater rim and a preserved folk village.
