🌋 Jusangjeolli & Daepo Coast | Lava Pillars, Crashing Waves & Jeju’s Volcanic Art Show 🌊🪨🌪️

📝 1. Overview
Along Jeju’s southern Daepo Coast (대포 해안), the Jusangjeolli Cliffs (주상절리대) rise like a giant’s sculpture gallery — dramatic hexagonal basalt columns formed when lava from Hallasan hit the sea thousands of years ago. These black rock formations, stacked like lava-made honeycombs, stand against thundering waves and deep-blue waters, creating one of Jeju’s most awe-inspiring natural sights.
Surrounding the cliffs, the Daepo coastal trail offers cafés, viewpoints, and access to art zones and the nearby Jungmun Resort.
