Geoje island
This island is the second largest island of Korea after Jeju island. It is also the region where the largest shipyards are located. I was surprised that the number of people who spoke English on the island was quite high.
You have a very good chance of seeing a thousand and one shades of blue on the island and resting under the glass trees accompanied by the sound of birds.
I wish I want to visit this island one more time for over 4 days because I need to explore more things there…🙏🏽

Solo Weekend Getaway
Last month I took a solo weekend getaway to Geoje, South Korea. I booked a room at Oedo Palace Pension. I was nervous about the room, because I've never stayed at a pension before but it was nice. I used a tripod and camera remote for majority of my pictures.
I had to stand in line at a few of the popular locations for photos, which seems to be normal for Korea. Here are a few pictures from my trip.
Places I visted:
Oedeo Bontania Garden. The garden was actually on another island, so I caught a ferry there.
Haegeumgang Island, we slowed down around this island on the ferry to Oedo.
Windy Hill. The Windmill at this location is popular because it was used for filming in a few Korean Dramas.
Maemi Castle.The visit to the castle was really nice; it was located next to the sea.
Geoje SeaWorld. I was surprised to learn there was a SeaWorld here. I've never been to a SeaWorld before, but this one felt more like an aquarium.
Geunpo Cave. This location has 3 different caves and is popular for it's shadow/silhouette photos.
Cafe Britaly and Highclass 153 Cafe. Cafe Britaly has the Geoje sign and Highclass 153 Cafe has the swing.

Second Ground Cafe
#voyagevibes
I discovered a lovely cafe with a beautiful view of the Seongpo Sea. The owner recommended the fig and salted caramel financier, which was fresh, not overly sweet, and tasted like it was just made. It paired perfectly with the coffee. There's also a rooftop with a fantastic view, making it a cool and relaxing spot to enjoy your time.

Guyeong Beach: A Quiet and Well-Managed Retreat in Geoje

Ice Cream-Eating Bear: A Creamy Delight in Geoje
#voyagevibes
Located on the 3rd floor across from the Hanwha Geoje Resort Gourmet Food Court, Ice Cream-Eating Bear is a sweet treat worth trying. Made with milk from Beomsan Ranch, the ice cream is incredibly rich and has a delightful milky flavor that stands out.
While the price may be on the higher side, the taste and quality make it a perfect vacation indulgence. My top recommendation? The original milk flavor—it’s simple yet exceptional.

Nongsomongdol Beach: A Quiet Pebble Paradise in Geoje
#voyagevibes
While staying at a nearby resort, I took a short trip to Nongsomongdol Beach. The lack of nearby amenities means the beach stays peaceful and uncrowded, making it perfect for a relaxing stroll.
Unlike sandy beaches, this one is made up of smooth pebbles, which can provide a natural foot massage if you’re brave enough to walk barefoot. However, I’d recommend wearing comfortable shoes to fully enjoy your walk. The water is impressively clear, and the sound of seagulls adds to the calming atmosphere.
Though it’s not ideal for swimming, Nongsomongdol Beach is excellent for enjoying the serene ocean view and letting your mind wander. For anyone craving a tranquil escape, this is a lovely spot to reconnect with nature.

The trail is a short and manageable 1.6 km loop starting from the Gungnong Port parking lot. It takes just 30 minutes to an hour to complete, including time to take photos and enjoy the observatory. This makes Mangbong Mountain an ideal stopover while exploring other attractions on Geoje Island.

W181 Cafe
#voyagevibes
I visited this cafe while working nearby and looking for a spot to relax. Coming from Daejeon, I wanted a place with a serene ocean view, and this cafe delivered perfectly. Situated right in front of the sea, the view is not just of the ocean but also islands and forests, creating a stunning backdrop.
I ordered a sweet vanilla latte along with another coffee drink and was very satisfied. The dessert menu offers plenty of options, like croissants and cakes. The interior is spacious, and there’s an outdoor seating area where you can relax comfortably. The large parking lot adds to the convenience.
It was lovely to sit and enjoy the sound of gentle waves and seagulls. The cafe also doubles as an accommodation option with ocean-view rooms, so I hope to return someday and stay overnight.

I made a reservation in advance and was able to enter without any waiting. Although the group ahead of us was large, causing a slight delay for our food, it wasn't too long of a wait.
The owner was exceptionally kind, and the food was absolutely delicious. The highlights were the fried crab and fried squid, which were outstanding! To top it off, the crab ramen soup was incredible—a perfect way to finish the meal.
I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience here. Highly recommended!

A unique feature is the direct staircase leading to the castle, giving visitors a seamless way to explore this historical spot while enjoying the cafe’s ambiance. The breads, freshly baked in-house, are as delicious as they look, and the coffee pairs perfectly with the serene surroundings.
I visited on a weekend, and despite the steady flow of customers, the vibe remained cozy. Among the many cafes near Maemi Castle, this one stands out as the ultimate destination for breathtaking views and quality refreshments.
📍Address: 1252 Okpodaecheop-ro, Jangmok-myeon, Geoje, Gyeongnam
We had a great BBQ meal at Geoje!!!
While traveling to Geoje we had BBQ pork for dinner at this restaurant called Manko Galbi. Located inside the small alley by the main road, this shop serves excellent quality pork bellies and necks, and the marinated pork ribs are very fresh and succulent too. The price is also very reasonably cheap which means we have the budget to eat more. The restaurant is big enough to accommodate 10 of us at one long table. We all had a really good time having meat and alcohol, and we will definitely come back again.
