oreum country, and the blue water below it
This is where Jeju's little volcanic cones, the oreums, crowd together, and if those are what you came for, spend the day here: Darangshi, the queen of them, Abu's cedar-ringed crater, and the centuries-old yews at Bijarim. Down on the coast are Woljeong and Sehwa, and Gimnyeong, which is bluer and windier than Hamdeok. Lunch is the sea-urchin noodles the Pyeongdae divers cook.
No photos, no star ratings — just what I'd tell a friend. These are the places on my own map, 48 of them here: 13 I've been to, 35 I haven't made it to yet.

Things to do
Manjanggul Cave
A lava tube you walk through, part of Jeju's UNESCO-listed volcanic heritage.
Darangshi Oreum
The queen of the oreums (volcanic cones): a steep climb, and the view from the top makes up for it.
Bijarim Forest
About 2,800 nutmeg yews, 500 to 800 years old, growing wild: Natural Monument No. 374, and a forest made for resting.
Gimnyeong Beach
Quieter, bluer and windier than Hamdeok: it trades ease for color.

What to order and how to get in — the queue windows, which booking apps work without a Korean number — is in the guide.
Aewol is free, in full, so you can see whether you trust me before paying.
