🌅 Bomok & Oedolgae Coast | Seaside Cliffs, Island Legends & Secret Fisherman Trails 🐚🌊🌴

📝 1. Overview
To the southwest of Seogwipo lies one of Jeju’s most cinematic coastal areas — the Oedolgae Rock (외돌개) and the Bomok Port (보목항) area. Here, jagged cliffs, quiet fishing villages, and crystal-clear blue water come together in dramatic fashion. Oedolgae is steeped in legend, while Bomok feels like a peaceful slice of local life. It’s a spot where you can hike, chill, or just breathe in Jeju’s raw beauty — away from the crowds.

🌟 2. Highlights

🪨 Oedolgae Rock (외돌개) – Jeju’s “Lonely Rock”

• Surrounded by lava cliffs, pine trees & turquoise sea
• Sunset glow on the rock = unforgettable photos

🌊 Bomok Coast (보목 해안) – Hidden Harbor & Walking Bliss

• Serene coastal village & fishing port
• Hidden cafés, haenyeo diving spots, and seafood markets
