Leave early from Seogwipo to reach Seongsan Port for a morning ferry to Udo — aim to arrive 30–45 minutes before crossing; ferry timetables vary seasonally so check the current schedule.
Rent an e-bike or scooter to circle Udo’s scenic coastal route, visit Seobin Baeksa (white sand) and lighthouse viewpoints — rentals open with morning ferries but are busy in high season so arrive early.

Return to Seogwipo for a relaxed lunch — try another local speciality such as black pork or a seafood hotpot near Olle Market before you head north to Jeju City.
Check out and drive north-west toward Jeju City — allow around 70–90 minutes depending on traffic so you have time for an afternoon stop before Dongmun dinner.
