Hamdeok Beach in Jocheon-eup, Jeju City, is one of eastern Jeju's most popular beaches, about 40 minutes by car from Jeju Airport. It offers a roughly 900m stretch of fine white sand and emerald-blue water, and because neighboring Seoubong hill shelters it from waves, the water stays shallow and calm - ideal for families.
Emerald-blue water often ranked among Jeju's most beautiful, alongside Hyeopjae and Gimnyeong
Shallow, calm water that is safe and easy for children and families
Seoubong hill (approx. 111m) beside the beach - a short trail to a panoramic view, with canola flowers in spring
Summer night market with handicrafts and busking, plus lawns and walking paths for relaxed outings
Operates as a 'pet beach' where leashed dogs are allowed in designated areas

SeasonThe beach is officially open only in summer (announced as June 24-Sep 6 for 2026). Outside that window, lifeguards and facilities may not operate - check the latest opening dates and hours before you go.
