🌊 Sinyang & Hado Coast | Calm Beaches, Surf Vibes & Jeju’s East Coast Chill Zone 🏄🌴🪁

📝 1. Overview
Just south and north of Seongsan Ilchulbong (성산일출봉), the Sinyang Beach (신양섭지해수욕장) and Hado Coastal Area (하도 해안) form a mellow stretch of coast ideal for windsurfing, paddleboarding, seaside camping, and simply soaking in the Jeju slow life.
With turquoise shallows, local seafood shacks, and gentle wind farms in the background, this zone is a peaceful alternative to Jeju’s more famous beaches — perfect for a half-day of sea breeze and barefoot freedom.
