Yongmeori Beach, Volcanic coastal formation in Seogwipo, South Korea.
Rising between 30 to 50 meters, the black basalt cliffs form a natural curve along the shoreline with dark sand beaches below.
The Yongmeori Coast emerged from volcanic eruptions 1.2 million years ago, marking the earliest volcanic activity recorded on Jeju Island.
The name translates to Dragon Head, referencing local folklore about a dragon that descended into the sea at this location.
Access to the coastal path depends on daily tide schedules, with entrance fees of 2,000 won for adults and 1,000 won for children.
Women divers known as Haenyeo sell fresh sea cucumbers along the shore, maintaining a traditional fishing practice specific to Jeju Island.
