I've read the content about living in Jeju in general, and I appreciate the information/opinions on the site about Jeju.

My question is this: Where specifically in Jeju would you consider the best place to live? I'm looking at two opportunities...one in Jeju City and the other in Seogwipo.

Jeju City has the benefit of a larger population, with accompanying diversions...more restaurants and retail, casinos, cultural centers, golf and a baseball team. It also has the airport and ferry facilities.

Seogwipo is about half the size in terms of population, but appears to be a nice place. From pictures, it seems to be particularly scenic and planned around the waterfront in a linear way...meaning you aren't likely to live very far from the water no matter what (I find that appealing). They have a world-class stadium and a K-League team.

I'm sure that there are other nice places in Jeju to live. These just happen to be the two of my current focus.

I'm interested in having access to transportation options, including buses. I'd enjoy decent beach access. The Hallasan National Park seems to be a similar distance between the two. I know Jeju isn't a large place in general, and that I could likely get around to anywhere without too much trouble.

I suppose I'd be interested in hearing where you would ideally set up shop, given the choice. Thanks!

I've been told that windsurfing is available around Jeju City. Several resorts are able to arrange it for you if you contact them.
