Yongmoeri Peninsula

The Yongmoeri coast of southwest Jeju Island, Korea, is an otherworldly landscape of rock, sculpted by wind and water, meeting sea.  Fishermen, picnickers, sightseers, and seafood vendors selling their daily catch dot the legendary shoreline which purportedly resembles the head of a dragon plunging into the ocean.

Craggy peaks of the Yongmoeri coast.

Sightseers along the coast.

The seafood in the tubs, the cigarettes in hand, and the
little green soju bottles on the rocks
are all prevalent across much of Korea.

The surf crashed into this coastal inlet
unleashing mighty booms.

A calm, clear water pool.

Seaside picnic on a terrace.

Eroded, pockmarked cliff.

Where land meets sea.
