Jeongbang Waterfall

jeongbang waterfall

Jeongbang Falls is among the top of three waterfalls of Jeju and the only waterfall in Asia to fall directly into the ocean...
What to Do

As I said before, this waterfall is very accessible waterfall. All you have to do was to climb up stairs, take photos and climb up another stairs in order to reach the rocky area where the waterfall is. It was fun watching people from above the waterfall posed in front of waterfall. Anyway, be careful while walking on the rocks, it can be slippery.

Jeongbang Falls is among the top of three waterfalls of Jeju and the only waterfall in Asia to fall directly into the ocean. It has 23 meters high and very close to the sea. On the cliff high above the sea stands an old evergreen tree, leaning out as if ready to fall into the ocean. It was a great place to relax after climb the stairs. There is an observatory at the top of the cliff, from which you can command a fine view of the sea.
