Yongmeori Coast in Sagye-ri, Jeju

Yongmeori Coast in Sagye-ri, Jeju is a stretch of coastline built up from volcanic clastic material erupted from three vents beneath the sea; unlike Seongsan Ilchulbong Tuff Cone and Suwolbong, where the eruption vent remained fixed, here the vent migrated during eruption, giving the site great geomorphological value. It is the oldest hydrovolcano on Jeju Island, and its coastal cliffs, shaped over a long period of deposition and erosion into a form resembling a dragon's head, also carry scenic value. * The designation name was changed from "Yongmeori Coast, Sagye-ri, Jeju" to "Yongmeori Volcaniclastic Beds, Sagye-ri, Jeju" (notified 26 July 2021).
