Yongmeori Coast/Shore is a great place to walk. You can view the beautiful sea shore and the layers of rocks (sandstone bed) that were formed during the past one thousand years. I visited here with my school friends to do a science project and it was truly amazing! You can also spot the haenyeos, the female divers in Jeju Island and the sibling island

The Legend on Yongmeori shore

This place is called Yongmeori (dragon head) because the hill near this shore looks like a dragon's

head going inside the ocean. According to the legend, king Jinshi sent his soldiers to cut off the dragon's tail and its body. This made the dragon scream with pain and fall into the ocean.
