Surprise Proposal Location Recommendations
I'm planning a surprise proposal in Jeju in late October and need local intel. She has no idea. I've hired (well, am hiring) a photographer who shoots paparazzi-style from a distance so she never notices them.
**The setup**
- Last week of October, around 5 PM (sunset is ~5:50 PM, so golden hour)
- Just the two of us; she thinks it's a normal sightseeing stop
- Afterwards the photographer reveals himself for ~30 min of posed photos
**My requirements**
- As few people as possible, ideally nobody in the frame
- A dramatic, grand natural backdrop
- Not a beach proposal, and not a busy ticketed attraction unless it genuinely empties out near closing
**My shortlist so far, grouped by scenery:**
(a) Cliff, overlooking ocean and mountains
- Songaksan coastal cliff trail
- Suwolbong Peak (Gosan)
- Sanbangsan and Yongmeori Coast
- Oedolgae and Hwanguji coast
- Seongsan Ilchulbong
(b) Black rock going into the ocean
- Songaksan shoreline
- Sinchang Windmill Coastal Road
- Handam Coastal Walk (Aewol)
- Gimnyeong Beach
(c) Silvergrass field
- Field behind Seobong Hill, Hamdeok
- Darangshi Oreum
- Ttarabi Oreum
- Yongnuni Oreum
- Abu Oreum
(d) Pink muhly field
- Camellia Hill
- Boromwat
- Manor Blanc
- Jeju Herb Dongsan
- Cafe Saebil
**What I'd love to know**
- Which spot would you pick, and which would you rule out at 5 PM on a Friday?
- Real crowd levels at that hour in late October (not the brochure version)
- Gotchas: Yongmeori tide closures, Camellia Hill's 5:30 PM last admission, oreum rest-year closures, wind, anything that kills a sunset plan
- Will silvergrass and pink muhly still be in good shape on Oct 23, or past peak?
- Any spot I've missed that beats this list for privacy + backdrop?
Thanks in advance. This has to land perfectly!
