Gwangchigi beach

Gwangchigi is a beach in the east of Jeju island - not far from the iconic Seongsan Sunrise Peak. Swimming on the beach is very difficult, though in a theory it is quite possible. The key feature is an unusual view of the green rocks during the low tide. So, in most cases, people prefer just to walk along the coast, or sometimes ride horses. Shore and seabed: sand, stones.
