Chuja Island

Chuja Island

Chuja Island is located in the sea closest to the northwest of Jeju City, South Korea. It is an archipelago consisting of four inhabited islands — Upper and Lower Chuja Islands, Chupodo Island, and Hoenggan Island — and 38 uninhabited islands. It is hailed as the “Archipelagic Sea” of Jeju Island. Amidst the vast ocean, surrounded by oddly shaped islands, it evokes a wonderful sensation, as if walking through a deep mountain forest.

Chuja Island is not only a prime production area for dried yellow croaker in northern Jeju but also a famous spot for deep-sea fishing. Here, you can catch seafood such as shrimp, nongeo fish, godeng fish, and needlefish. Many people come here to enjoy leisurely fishing on weekends. In addition, the island features numerous cultural and historical structures, including the Shrine of General Choi Young and the Chuja Scholar’s Pavilion. Some of these have been designated as cultural properties and are under protection. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Chuja Island while exploring these ancient sites to experience the island’s rich cultural heritage.
