Seopjikoji is a cape (koji in Jeju dialect) stretching into the sea on the eastern coast of Jeju, in Sinyang-ri, Seongsan-eup. Once an island, it is now a land-tied island connected to Jeju by a sandbar, offering dramatic sea cliffs, grassy meadows, spring canola blossoms and autumn silver grass, all set against the backdrop of Seongsan Ilchulbong. Free and open year-round, it is a beloved coastal walking spot famous as a filming location for the Korean drama All In.

Good to know
SafetyMuch of the walk runs along steep sea cliffs, some without railings or barriers. Keep well back from the edge when taking photos and watch children and pets closely.
SafetyAs an exposed cape, wind off the sea can be very strong. Secure hats and belongings on the open lighthouse hill and meadow, and bring a windbreaker.
SeasonSpring canola (around March) and autumn reeds are the highlights. Winter brings fierce wind and a sharp wind-chill, so dress warmly and wind-proof.
RulesThe cape itself is free and always open, but the Yumin Art Museum charges separate admission and has set hours (roughly 09:00-18:00, last ticket 17:00) and closures such as the first Tuesday of each month - confirm the latest details before visiting.
MannersThe canola fields are vast, so step a little inside for uncrowded photos. Do not trample or pick the flowers, and stay on the designated paths and photo areas.
Practical info
Free entry, open year-round. Parking is at a paid public lot (small cars roughly 1,000 KRW for the first 30 min, up to about 3,000 KRW per day - confirm current rates). It is about 1 km from the lot to the Glass House, and the full stroll takes 1-2 hours. There is no direct bus, so a rental car is easiest; by public transit, get off at Seongsan or Ojo and take a call taxi (verify fares and times).
