Aewol Eup: Waiting for a Tangerine Sea Sunset at the Glass Café

✨ "The glass café loved by G-Dragon, tangerine sea sunsets + volcanic rock coast—this is Jeju Island's ultimate romance!"
📸 Must-Visit Spots & Experiences
① Aewol Coastal Road (애월해안도로) – Jeju's most beautiful coastal drive 🌊
Stroll along the black volcanic rock shoreline, soothed by the sound of waves crashing. Perfect for epic photos!
Best time: 4-6 PM, with soft light and stunning sunsets.

② Viral Café – GD Café (formerly Cafe Monsant) ☕
G-Dragon's glass-walled café offers 360° ocean views. The glass exterior changes with the light—mirror-like on sunny days, transparent when cloudy!
Must-try: Jeju tangerine soda (제주감귤에이드) 🍹 + black sesame cake.

③ Bomnal Café (봄날) – Filming location for K-drama "Warm and Cozy"
A retro courtyard with breathtaking sea views. The low wall and colorful chairs at the entrance are photo gold!
Best seat: Second-floor terrace for a "tangerine sea" sunset that’ll leave you breathless!

④ Nolman Seafood Noodles (놀맨) – Spicy seafood noodles with fresh catch 🦀
Must-order: Spicy seafood stew noodles piled high with crab, mussels, and shrimp in a fiery, flavorful broth!

⑤ Handam Coastal Trail (한담해안산책로) – A hidden gem for peaceful walks 🚲
Less crowded, dotted with cute Jeju stone grandfather statues and lookout points—ideal for quiet ocean gazing.

💎 Local Tips
🔹 Sunset photo spot: The alley behind Bomnal has fewer crowds, perfect for café + sunset shots.
🔹 Noodle alternative: If Nolman’s line is too long, try abalone porridge at nearby "애월해녀의집" (Haenyeo House).
🔹 Tide warning: Hidden paths appear at low tide on the volcanic rocks, but tides rise fast! Check tide tables (search "애월 조수간만" on Naver).

📸 Underrated Photo Ops
▫️ Tribe Café’s corner window on the 2nd floor: A natural frame for ocean views.
▫️ Abandoned fishing boat at Handam Coast: Rustic hull + turquoise sea for moody shots.
▫️ Aewol Elementary’s outer wall: Rainbow mural from "Warm and Cozy" K-drama.
