This is a must see location in Seogwipo!The waterfall is walkable from the Seobok Exhibition Hall.The waterfall is excellent to see from both the top where the stream flows above, and as it falls from the clifftop when you reach the bottom.There is a Korean War Memorial (Seobok Park) and garden to view near the stream, that is worth the couple of minutes to walk around.If you aren't physically fit, I'd note that there is a viewing platform at the top where the ticket booth is, but the view is more of a glimpse due to overgrown trees.It's a lot of steep stairs to reach the bottom of the cliff to access the ocean viewpoints. There is no beach at the bottom of the cliff and you need to scramble over big beach boulders and rocky ground to be able to get the best vantage point.It's a very busy destination, with many couples lining up to get the best photos. If you're there for photos, be patient about waiting for everyone to get their shots.We helped other families and couples take photos together. And others returned the favour for us. This also helped people get their photos done faster for those waiting. So it was very nice to give and receive the help.This is NOT a swimming destination.We visited in September and it was very hot and humid. Bring cold water/refreshments with you, as you'll need them for the steep climb up and down.

There are two sides for you to explore in this place.Lots of car park space.One side is to the jeongbang waterfall where you have to pay for entrance to take the stairs down all the way to the waterfall. I didn't pay for it since I am not interested in taking waterfall photo. You can go pass the ticket booth at the podium and take photo from far just like me if you don't wish to climb the stairs.On the other side is a long board walk to another waterfall which could take you more than 30 minutes. I didn't go this route.At another far end, you'll see a museum, art garden which you can take a stroll and enjoy the sea view

Can be extremely crowded to get good pictures. Awesome photo spot. 1 hour is sufficient to visit. Need good shoes on slippery rocks. Children & elderly not advisable.. imo, can be dangerous. Also, there’s snakes when they are not hibernating so do your homework before visiting.

A very interesting waterfall - the only one that falls straight into the ocean in South Korea. 1 out of 7 in Asia.The sky cleared up a bit that day so we managed to get some good pics!Also saw some aunties selling abalone and other seafood along the way!Didn't try though.Oh we did try 2 sticks of oden at the entrance of the park - it looked interesting with lots of bean sprout on top and a cuttle fish, added flavour?

Very nice waterfall, especially on a sunny day! Well worth the up to USD 1.50 it cost to get to see it. When I was there some mature ladies served very fresh seafood on the rocks oceanfront - unfortunately I had just eaten, so didn't get to try it. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is that it is not the biggest waterfall in the world, but super 👍🏻🙂
