Favored by locals, Samyang is close to the city center and has a wide range of attractions including the mountains, seas, and historical sites. A long stretch of black beach is a rare sight in Jeju, and the black sand’s therapeutic effect on neuralgia, arthritis, obesity, dermatitis, prevention of colds, and athlete’s foot has been known for a long time.
Samyang’s black sand is particularly fine and soft, which makes it better for a sand bath. Samyang is also famous for its abundant spring water. After taking a sand bath, you can cool down your heated body in the spring water, which is a nice way to beat the midsummer heat right away.
Samyang in Jeju is renowned for its clean and abundant fresh spring water. Saetdori Water, which is located within a 5-minute walk from the beach, serves as a source of fresh drinking water, a bathhouse, and a recreation park for the town. Recently, it has drawn renewed attention as a natural water park during summer break. It is a place where all people, young and old, can enjoy a relaxing time.
Samyang also offers a magnificent sunset view. The shiny black sand bounces off sunlight, creating a view that looks like a landscape painting. Because of the lighting system installed all around the region, many people come to visit, even at nighttime.
Samyang’s Historical and Cultural Trails in NatureIn Samyang, you can see the prehistoric culture of Jeju at a glance. The “Samyang’s History Ole Trail” includes important historic sites such as Samyang-dong prehistoric sites and Treasure No. 1187, the Five-Storied Stone Pagoda of Bultapsa Temple, along with the black sand beach, refreshing spring water, and Wondangbong. This 9.6 km trail generally takes 4 hours including short breaks and sightseeing. Jeju Ole Trail No. 18, which leads to Bultapsa Temple through Samyang Black Sand Beach and the entrance of Wondangbong, is also a good walking route.
Fight Fire with Fire: Chasing Away the Summer Heat with a Beach FestivalTo promote Samyang’s black sand, the Samyang Black Sand Beach Festival has been held just in time for the summer holidays since 2002. The festival offers sand bathing, beach soccer for children, beach sand sculpture exhibition, and a spring water gun fight along with ocean experience programs such as scuba diving, windsurfing, sea bathing, and deep-sea fishing.
The festival features performing arts events organized by the local residents.
