Way View - A Modern Haven Overlooking Hyeopjae Beach

-

Perched along Jeju's western coastline, Way View offers an extraordinary café experience that perfectly captures the essence of Hyeopjae's natural beauty. As both a design enthusiast and café explorer, I'm excited to share this remarkable spot that combines architectural elegance with breathtaking ocean views.





Essential Information

  • Google Map
  • Location: 25-3, Ongpo 7-gil, Hallim-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju-do
  • Hours: 9:00 AM - 8:00 PM (Last order: 7:30 PM)
  • Note: Summer hours may be extended
  • Parking: Available in two locations - front of café and street entrance













The Space

Way View's architecture makes a striking first impression with its modern, minimalist design. The name itself - a clever fusion of "Wave" and "View" - hints at the experience within. The interior features Tadao Ando-inspired exposed concrete walls, creating an industrial yet welcoming atmosphere across two floors of generous seating, each offering spectacular ocean view.









Menu Highlights

  • Americano (Hot/Iced): 6,000 KRW
  • Signature Biyang Peak Nutella Pastry: 7,500 KRW

While the coffee may not revolutionize your palate, it surpasses typical chain café offerings. The real star is their Nutella pastry - a perfectly balanced treat that pairs wonderfully with any beverage. The emphasis here is clearly on the overall experience rather than purely culinary innovation.



The View

The café's prime location offers panoramic views of:

  • Hyeopjae Beach's pristine white sands
  • Biyangdo Island on the horizon
  • Stunning sunsets over the East China Sea


Pro Tips

  • Timing is Everything: Visit during golden hour (late afternoon) for optimal sunset views and photos
  • Early Bird Wins: Arrive early to secure prime window seating, especially during peak hours
  • Photography: Bring your camera - the views are Instagram-worthy from every angle
  • Seasonal Planning:
    • Summer visitors should dress lightly due to sun exposure through large windows
    • Check for extended summer hours
    • Consider morning visits to beat the heat
  • Local Bonus: Show your Way View receipt for free entry to the Hyeopjae Yuja Flower Festival (until May 31)
  • Exploration: Combine your visit with a beach walk or trip to nearby Hallim Park



Beyond the Café

Way View sits in the heart of Hyeopjae, once a quiet fishing village now transformed into a vibrant tourist destination. The area offers:

  • Historic lava caves
  • Botanical gardens
  • Pristine beaches
  • Local markets
  • Seasonal festivals


Whether you're seeking the perfect sunset spot, a peaceful morning coffee, or an atmospheric afternoon retreat, Way View delivers a memorable Jeju café experience. While the coffee might not be the main attraction, the combination of stunning views, thoughtful design, and delightful pastries makes it a must-visit destination on your Jeju itinerary.

Aewol Eunhye Jeonbok – Is This Place for Abalone Dishes or Mulhoe? Jeju Mulhoe Restaurant Recommendation

-
Image
  Hi there! This is Seoulring, your rebellious designer. Aewol, located in Jeju, is a hotspot bustling with tourists, especially the younger crowd. Though I’m not sure if I can call myself a tourist, I found myself passing through Aewol and craving mulhoe (cold raw fish soup). After searching, I ended up at Aewol Eunhye Jeonbok , a place that comes up as a recommended Jeju mulhoe spot on search engines. If you search “Jeju Mulhoe Restaurant,” this place appears around the fourth page (on desktop). Even though some places rely on blog sponsorships, let me tell you this: Eunhye Jeonbok doesn’t need it . As someone who loves Korean cuisine and seafood, I believe the best abalone comes straight from Wando’s local market. The abundance of fresh, large, farmed abalones there is unrivaled. I rarely eat abalone outside Wando unless I really crave it. But in Jeju, especially in Aewol, a place specializing in abalone intrigued me. I wanted to see how confident they were in their reputation ...
