Collect your own seafood

Jeju is where summer begins in Korea. Make your summer vacation complete with bareutjabi, a unique fishing experience at Jeju’s ocean. In bareutjabi, visitors can collect top shells, crabs, and turban shells at the shallow seaside. It is an easy activity suitable for children, which makes it popular as a tour experience for the entire family. It’s important to note that bareutjabi is not allowed in every part of the Jeju ocean. Since marine products provide a means of living for local residents, bareutjabi is only allowed in certain town fisheries that permit visitors to collect their own seafood. These kinds of activities are only allowed in permitted areas, even within the same beach. Furthermore, use of tools are prohibited. The permitted period and time of permission are set separately.

Halla, and 'Mom Guk: Mom Seaweed Soup, Haenyeo(fisherwomen)'s hearty winter food.
