About

As one of the top three waterfalls in Jeju, Jeongbang Waterfall is a unique coastal waterfall and the only one in Asia where the water falls directly into the sea. Pouring down from a 23m-high cliff like a soaring black dragon, the water stream creates a magnificent spectacle with a roaring sound and white spray. There is a legend that Seobok, who was ordered by Qin Chi Huang of China to search for the elixir of youth, wandered here and left the inscription 'Seobul Gwaji' carved into the waterfall's rock wall before leaving.

Surrounded by coastal cliffs and old pine trees like a folding screen, it creates a landscape resembling an Oriental painting, and along with Cheonjeyeon Waterfall and Cheonjiyeon Waterfall, it is considered one of Jeju's representative scenic spots. Experience the grandeur of nature yourself in this mysterious spectacular scenery where the sea and the waterfall harmonize.
