Seasonal Guide

Kumho Resort Jeju is on the coast of Namwon in Seogwipo, so it is a great place to enjoy different sea views in each season. Because it is close to the Keun-ung Coastal Scenic Spot, it is especially convenient for walks and scenic views.

• Spring: This is the season when spring flowers begin to bloom across Jeju. During cherry blossom season, it is nice to combine driving with coastal walks, and in the morning you can enjoy clear ocean views, while in the evening you can see soft sunset scenery.
• Summer: The most striking season for blue seas and lush greenery. Coastal walks, ocean views, and sunset watching on western beaches are recommended. Since the sunlight is strong, bring a hat, sunscreen, and water.
• Autumn: With the cool weather, this is the most comfortable time for outdoor activities. During the foliage season, it is nice to enjoy calm walks along beautiful coastal scenery, and the relatively pleasant temperature makes it easy to explore nearby attractions.
• Winter: Jeju’s winter sea has a clear and quiet charm. Although there is no lighting event information in the main text, the coastal scenery and calm sunrise or sunset views are a great match in winter. Since the wind can be strong, warm outerwear is necessary.

Practical tip: The location is good for viewing both sunrise and sunset, but the sunset is especially beautiful from the western beaches. Since there can be wind regardless of the season, it is good to bring a light windbreaker.
