The open road with the sea by our side was refreshing, and the variety of charming cafes lined up along the way made for an enjoyable exploration. 3. Visit to Noeulli Cafe During the drive, we stopped by Noeulli Cafe, which is especially beautiful at sunset, as its name suggests. Sipping a warm cup of tea while enjoying the sea and sunset through the large windows was the perfect way to unwind after a long day. 🛏 Accommodation: Stanford Hotel Jeju – Aewol 🍃 Day 2 – Green Tea Fields & Jungmun Olle Trail Walk 1.
