📝 1. Overview
Located just 10 minutes from Jeju Airport, Iho Beach (이호해수욕장) is the perfect welcome or farewell beach. Known for its famous horse-shaped lighthouses, shallow waters, and calm atmosphere, it’s a favorite among locals for sunset strolls, fried chicken picnics, and quiet seaside downtime. Unlike Jeju’s more touristy shores, Iho offers a more relaxed, neighborhood feel — with sandy walks, windsurfing spots, and photo ops just steps from the city.
