๐Ÿ’ก Good to know
  • Get around the island by bicycle, e-bike or the island loop bus.
  • Ferries stop in bad weather โ€” check sailings before you head out.
  • Pair it with Seongsan Ilchulbong for a full day in eastern Jeju.
๐Ÿ“ท Photo tips
  • The water at Seobin Baeksa beach is clearest when the sun is high.
  • From Udobong peak you can see the whole island with Seongsan Ilchulbong behind it.
  • Ride the coastal road and stop wherever the view takes you.

Udo means โ€œcow islandโ€ โ€” from above, it is said to look like a cow lying down. It sits just off Jejuโ€™s east coast, a short ferry ride from Seongsan Port, which makes it an easy day trip.

Highlights

  • Seobin Baeksa โ€” what looks like white sand is actually tiny nodules formed by red algae. The water here is a clear emerald green, Udoโ€™s signature view.
  • Udobong โ€” the islandโ€™s highest point, with green slopes, open sea and Seongsan Ilchulbong across the water.
  • Geommeolle Beach โ€” a black-sand beach with a sea cave.

Good to know

Get around by bicycle, e-bike or the island loop bus. Ferries do not run in bad weather, so check before you go.
