Jeongbang Waterfall, Coastal waterfall in Seogwipo, South Korea.
The waterfall drops about 23 meters over granite cliffs and flows directly into the ocean surrounding Jeju Island. Multiple viewing platforms and pathways allow visitors to experience the cascade from different angles.
Ancient Chinese inscriptions at the site record the journey of an envoy sent by Emperor Qin Shi Huang to search for magical herbs. This historical connection links the waterfall to a distant imperial expedition.
Local stories speak of a dragon spirit dwelling beneath the waterfall, believed to bring rain during dry periods. Visitors come to experience this spiritual connection and feel the power of the cascading water.
The site is easy to access with multiple viewing areas and rest spots for visitors. Wear comfortable shoes since the pathways can be wet and slippery from the spray and mist.
This is one of the rare waterfalls in Asia where freshwater cascades directly into the ocean, creating a striking blend of natural elements. The phenomenon draws visitors seeking an unusual natural spectacle.
