Introduction
Jeongbang Waterfall is set on the coastal cliffs of Seogwipo on Jeju Island and is one of the few waterfalls in Asia that plunges directly into the sea. Water falls from dark rock straight into the ocean, contrasting with the surrounding reefs, pines and blue water. Its drop is modest, but the seaside setting makes it distinctive, and on clear days the spray often catches a rainbow. Viewing platforms and paths let visitors watch the water meet the sea up close, and the nearby coast is good for a short walk.
