Sokcho Beach

Sokcho isn't Korea's largest beach, but it is one of the most well-known. It measures 450 meters in length and less than 100 meters in width. On the country's east coast, the beach is close to a bus station. The beach is easily accessible and, as a result, fairly popular during the summer due to a convenient traffic crossing and its natural location. Every year, a great number of people go to Sokcho Beach because of the soft beach, hot springs, mountains, and freshly caught seafood.

The beachfront area has changing rooms, football fields, volleyball courts, and a rescue station. Among the most popular activities among locals are water attractions, camping sites, and seeing the dawn on New Year's Day. The national park, golf courses, spa centers, and gorgeous lakes are all nearby of the beach.

Buddhist temples and festivals are particularly deserved of attention. These are Sokcho's historical and cultural landmarks, and the festivals will dazzle visitors with theater performances, parades, and competitions. Tourists can sample freshly caught seafood, raw fish snacks, and stuffed squid in grocery stores, the fish market, and local eateries. Anyone may find something to do here, from lonely travelers to touristy gourmets.
