Secret Forest, located in Gujwa-eup, Jeju-si, is a natural forest path that became famous as a must-visit selfie spot on social media. It shows its own unique appeal different from that of other well-known forests on Jeju Island such as Bijarim Forest and Saryeonisup Forest Trail. It consists of diverse elements from the rare cypress forest and vast grassland to stone walls and log cabins, and also features photo spots that contain sentiments and vibes unique to Jeju Island. Here, visitors can enjoy the beautiful four seasons of nature through canola blossoms and pink muhly. However, since it is a privately-owned land, it is prohibited to take pictures in the area until completely passing through the entrance, and must refer to the address shown on the website to get to the paved road.

Behind the beacon fire station is Bulgeunoreum Volcanic Cone, vibrant with red soil. The white lighthouse atop the cone stands out in contrast.

Sinyang Seopji Beach is not yet a popular tourist attraction, leaving the fine-grained, sandy beach relatively untouched. Thanks to its quiet atmosphere, the beach gives visitors a calmer, more secluded beach experience than some of the larger beaches on Jeju.

Windsurfing is available nearby and popular tourist attractions such as Seongsan Ilchulbong Tuff Cone and Seopjikoji are located in the area.
