Situated on the northern coast in downtown Jeju, Yongduam Rock is an estimated 10-meter-tall stone that has been worn down over time by strong winds and waves into a shape resembling a dragon's head. There are many legends surrounding the rock. One legend has it that a dragon stealing precious jade from Hallasan Mountain was shot down by an arrow from the mountain deity. When he fell down, his body immediately sank into the ocean and his head rapidly froze looking at the sky. Another legend has it that a white horse, who dreamed of being a dragon and ascending to the sky, came to be caught by a soldier and froze into the rock.

From Yongduam Rock, visitors can see haenyeo (female divers) working at catching seafood. Near the rock are various cafes, bars, and restaurants. The coastal road between here and Aewol-eup is popular among couples. Cafes and seafood restaurants began to appear there five years ago and now form a pleasant café village.

Jeju Samdajang uses their special “jang,” fermented paste sauce made with ingredients from Jeju, to deliver exquisite flavors and specializes in marinated crab, which is highly regarded among aficionados. In fact, the restaurant exclusively uses seafood and shellfish sourced from the seas of Jeju. Visitors who like marinated crab can opt for the Samdajang Set (spicy marinated crab, octopus, and seaweed soup, abalone rice porridge, etc.), whereas fish lovers would be served very well by the Galchijorim Set (braised cutlassfish, octopus and seaweed soup, abalone rice porridge, etc.). Because the dishes are all prepared with fresh seafood caught from the seas of Jeju, they all boast rich flavors. Note that this restaurant offers delivery services, so customers can get their famous marinated blue crab, soy sauce-marinated abalone, and soy sauce-marinated shrimp delivered to addresses in Korea.
