Before You Go
- Jeju has no subway. This route follows bus 202 along the western coast. Buses run every 15-25 minutes, but schedules can shift — use Kakao Map for real-time arrivals at each stop.
- Yongmeori Coast closes during high tide or rough weather. Check opening status on the Seogwipo public tourism Instagram (@6sot_official) before heading there.
- A rental car cuts total travel time significantly. All five stops have free parking.
- O'sulloc Tea Museum gets crowded after 11 AM. Arriving earlier means shorter cafe lines.
- Bring cash for Yongmeori Coast and Jusangjeolli — ticket booths may not accept cards.
The map shows a suggested order of stops. Check Transit Guide for public transport details between each stop.
