Jeju's largest and oldest traditional market, bustling with fresh seafood, local snacks, and Jeju specialty products. The night market section offers street food favorites like grilled black pork skewers and hallabong juice.
Guide
Jeju Dongmun Market is Jeju's largest and oldest permanent market, formed naturally right after Korea's liberation in 1945. Just a 10-minute taxi ride from Jeju Airport, it's a perfect first stop upon arrival. During the day it's a traditional market selling fresh seafood, tangerines, and dried goods; after 6pm, it transforms into a vibrant night market.
The night market is the highlight. Black pork skewers, butter-grilled abalone, hallabong (Jeju tangerine) juice, and omegi-tteok (Jeju millet rice cake) — all Jeju-exclusive street food at 3,000-8,000 KRW each. If you love sashimi, the market's fish stalls serve freshly caught raw fish at local prices.
Note: Some sections close on certain Sundays, so check before visiting. The night market gets long lines on weekends — weekday evenings are much more relaxed.
