Summer time has been here for a couple months. I have tried to make the most of it because I am not sure how long it will last. I am told that October and November are wonderful here and people were still swimming.
I went to the tourist center and asked for a good size map of the island. The kindly gave me one and also a book all about Jeju and another on my city (Seogwipo). I put the map on my wall at home so that I can start marking off all the places I have gone. mostly I want to get to all the beaches that I can before winter sets in. There are so many beaches and each one is different.
Udo Island is a great place. I have been twice now. The last trip we rented scooters and rode all around the island. There is a white sand beach, black sand beach, and a coral beach all on one tiny island. The coral beach is one of two natural coral beaches in Korea. It was a little rough on my feet the first time I went but the last trip I seemed to do better with it.
All of the beaches have had some decent snorkeling. Some were better than others. Hamdeok beach is probably my favorite so far (the picture with the really turquoise water and green oreum in the background). I have so many great beach pictures that it will be hard to get them all on here so I will just put a few of my favorites :)
