Getting from the ship
To Seogwipo market and coastal sights
Booked taxi or transfer
Use the Gangjeong cruise pickup and keep the return booking explicit.
Walking after transfer
The market and Lee Jung-seop Street form a useful city cluster; the waterfall adds a separate access decision.
Public transport: Limited
Exploring Seogwipo (Gangjeong), South Korea
Simplest approach
Transfer to Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market, then walk to Lee Jung-seop Street for shops and art-related stops. Add Jeongbang Waterfall only if the steps, opening arrangements and remaining time suit your group. Return to the agreed vehicle pickup rather than trying to improvise a final cross-island connection.
Practical notes
Accessibility
A street-and-market plan is easier to adapt than a waterfall visit. Check stair requirements at the waterfall and arrange vehicle access suitable for your group.
