 
The coastal highway extends from Yongdu-am to
the airport. This road is good for driving, as well as hiking or biking, and will help you feel
at harmony with the sea. You can refresh yourself with the salty smell of the ocean and the
echoing sound of the waves. In the springtime, the highway is lined with a yellow wave of rape
flowers. In the summertime, sea birds hover above the sea, crying out to their friends. In winter,
the sea becomes calm and quiet. All of these different aspects of the coastal highway make it one
of the most popular tourist area in Jeju all year round.
Recently, many cafes with antique atmospheres have opened along this highway. From the cafe windows,
people enjoy drinking tea and coffee while looking out at the scenery. Youngsters pedal along the
well-paved road and enjoy fresh air. The covered carts (poch'ang mach'a) are what make this
highway famous. Soju, beer, and simple side dishes are served. Many people gather in this area for
an exotic night view. As the sun sets, these carts become lively and you can taste fresh sea food at
reasonable prices.
