If you walk along Jeju Olle Course 19, you will come across Hamdeok Beach, which has an emerald jewel. Hamdeok Beach, located in Hamdeok-ri, Jocheon-eup, Jeju-si, is also called ‘Hamdeok Seoubong Beach’ because of Oreum (Seoubong Peak) standing right next to the beach.

It is only 20km away from Jeju Airport, but the moment you arrive here, you feel like you are in another country. The tall palm trees that welcome you from the entrance, the emerald sea that contrasts with the white sand, the clear water and white waves that make even the sand and seaweed transparent are like that.

Among the numerous beaches in Jeju Island, if you choose three places with the most beautiful sea color, it is definitely Hyeopjae Beach, Gimnyeong Beach, and Hamdeok Beach. The water is clear and the water depth is shallow, so it is also a good summer resort for families. The west side of the beach is connected by an overpass, so you can experience walking on the sea.

Oedolgae, the starting point of Jeju Olle Trail Course 7, is a stone pillar that rises 20m high from the sea. Standing alone on the sea, it was named ‘Oedolgae’. It is also called ‘General Stone’ and ‘Grandma Rock’, and there is a story that General Choi Yeong decorated this rock like a general when fighting against the Yuan Dynasty and made the enemy self-destruct. For the origin of the name 'Grandma Rock', read the legend below. Not only the visible rocks, but also the life of Jeju people waiting for the people of the sea can be seen.

These stone pillars are believed to have been created during a volcanic eruption. A chimney-shaped stone pillar in which the surrounding rocks are eroded by waves and only such strong rocks remain is called a sea stack in scientific terms. Pine trees grow naturally on the top of Oedolgae, giving a picturesque impression. Depending on the viewing direction, it shows a different appearance, and you can feel the beauty of nature.Read moreMore about Oedolgae

Handam Beach is spread out along the coastline from Aewol-ri Village, which is at the northwestern edge of Jejudo Island, to Gwakji Gwamul Beach. 

Jeju Special Self-Governing Province made this beach in 2001 as a part of the coastline improvement plan in order to give the islanders and tourists more diverse opportunities to enjoy the ocean. The plan’s priority was to create a harmony with the surrounding view. There is a 1.2km long winding trail that is paved along the beautiful coastline that was made to be as close to the ocean as possible. This is a very popular place because visitors can enjoy a relaxing walk along the vast blue ocean. 

In July 2009, Jeju-si designated 31 sites that represent Jejudo Island besides the already famous tourist sites and Handam Beach was chosen as one of these 31 hidden views of Jeju-si.Read moreMore about Handam Coastal Trail
