More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step from the tourist complex into salt-sweet air and a rhythm of surf and birdcalls—Jungmun’s cliff-lined coast opening to the south. The guide leads along paved promenades past palm lines, then up the compact volcanic flank of Beritnae Oreum where basalt sweat and low brush give way to a wide coastal panorama. Below, the Jungmun Tourist Complex fans out: hotels, museums and the steady pulse of the ocean.

History
Jungmun grew as a tourist zone in the late 20th century, but the island’s volcanic geology and fishing culture predate modern development; many oreums are remnants of the island’s shield-volcano activity.
Conservation
Trails around oreums are fragile—stick to marked paths to prevent erosion and avoid trampling native grasslands; carry out trash and minimize single-use plastics.
Reserve your spot on the Seogwipo (The Southern City of Jeju) Jungmun Area Walking Tour today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Wear grippy shoes
Trails include paved boardwalks and loose volcanic gravel—light hiking shoes with good traction make the oreum climb far easier.
Bring a wind layer
Coastal exposure can be cool and windy even on warm days; a packable windbreaker is useful.
Hydrate and snack
Three hours of stops plus an uphill section means a water bottle and small snacks will keep energy steady.
Mind temple etiquette
If visiting the small temple by Cheonjeyeon, be respectful: low voices and no flash photography during ceremonies.
Light hiking shoes
Provide traction on gravel and stability on stone steps.
Water bottle (1L+)
Keeps you hydrated during the oreum ascent and coastal stretches.
