On the coastal road behind the airport is this eclectic cafe-bar-restaurant that often stages craft exhibitions and other arty events. A ₩6000 taxi ride from Shin Jeju, it's a worthwhile stop if you're looking for a place to eat (pizza and pasta from ₩15,000), drink and sample the local arts scene before or after strolling the oceanfront promenade.
