The atmosphere of Sokcho Beach in March
#AustraliaFlightEvent Sokcho Beach was an impressive place with clean white sand and blue sea. It was close to the city center, so it was easy to access, and it was perfect for healing because you could take a leisurely walk in a quiet atmosphere.
As you walk while feeling the sea breeze, you feel your mind clearing, and with the sound of the waves, you can really enjoy a rest in nature. There are many cafes and restaurants nearby, so it was good to have a quick meal or enjoy a cup of coffee. The view of the sea that turned red at sunset was truly fantastic, and it was a feeling that couldn't be captured in a photo.

Sokcho Children and Sokcho Beach Review
#AustraliaFlightEvent Sokcho's beach and SokchoAi were places where you could truly feel the romance of sea travel. The Sokcho sea that you encountered while walking along the fine sandy beach was impressive with its endless blue horizon, and the sound of the waves purified your heart. In particular, the SokchoAi Ferris wheel was perfect for riding at sunset. The sight of Sokcho city and the red-tinted sea as you slowly ascended was an unforgettable scene. The view from above stimulated your emotions with the wide-open view, and gave you a sense of leisure as if you were temporarily away from your daily life. It was the highlight of the Sokcho trip.

This is April in Sokcho
#AustraliaFlightEvent The Sokcho sea is a sight that is always amazing. The clear blue water and the long horizon made my heart feel open. The cool and pleasant sea breeze was perfect for a walk, and the sound of the waves gently crashing was healing. I didn't even realize how much time had passed while sitting on the beach and watching the scenery where the sky and the sea meet. The sea turning red at sunset was also really beautiful, and there was a feeling that couldn't be captured in a photo. When I need the comfort of nature, I felt that there was no place better than the Sokcho sea.

Gangwon-do Sokcho Real-time March
#AustraliaFlightEvent The sea of Sokcho was so beautiful that I couldn't help but exclaim in awe the moment I saw it. The sky was reflected in the clear blue sea, which felt like a painting, and the gentle waves and sea breeze combined to make my heart feel at ease. Especially at sunset, the sight of the sky turning red and the sea becoming one was so enchanting that I couldn't express it in words. Just walking along the sea was healing, and the lighthouse and ships in the distance added an exotic feel. The sea of Sokcho was not just a tourist attraction, but a space full of emotions that made me want to stay.

Sokcho Beach Sandy Beach
#AustraliaFlightEvent Standing barefoot on the sandy beach of Sokcho, I felt the cool breeze and the scent of the ocean enveloping my whole body. The fine sand tickled my toes, and the sound of the waves calmed my mind. The sunlight was warm and the sky was clear, so I sat for a long time and looked at the ocean. Although it is a tourist destination, it was not crowded, so it was good for enjoying some leisure time alone, and as I walked slowly along the sandy beach, I could fully feel the leisurely atmosphere of Sokcho. If you want to spend a day with the ocean, there is no better place than this. Yay, exciting.

Sokcho is so cool
#AustraliaFlightEvent Sokcho Beach was a great place to take in the wide open East Sea at a glance. The cool sea breeze and the gentle sound of the waves made me feel refreshed. The white sand beach was clean and well-maintained, so it was comfortable to walk barefoot, and the walking path along the beach was well-maintained, so it was fun to walk. I also enjoyed the time leisurely drinking coffee while looking at the sea at a nearby cafe. In particular, the moment when the sunset turned the sea red was an unforgettable scene. It was a place that perfectly ended a day in Sokcho.

Sokcho Beach Cafe Whalelight
#AustraliaFlightEvent
Whalelight is located right below Sokcho Ai on Sokcho Beach. It is a large cafe with three floors, and the space is bright and far away, so it is good for looking at the ocean view. In order to allow all customers to see the beautiful ocean, we do not place seats right next to the large windows. So I was able to leisurely drink coffee and enjoy the beautiful ocean. There are various coffee menus, including basic Americano and Latte, as well as delicious coffees that you can see in Gangwon-do, such as Corn Latte and Black Sesame Latte. There were also many bakeries and cakes. I drank Corn Latte, and it was good because I could feel the rich corn flavor. There is also a review event going on. If you certify your Instagram or Naver review, you will receive one sandwich. I ate Corn Sandal, and it was really delicious because there was corn cream and corn between soft butter cookies. You can also purchase what you want separately. ❤️Gangwon Sokcho-si Cheongho Coastal Road 2

Sokcho 2 nights 3 days trip, eat crab, ride the Ferris wheel, and even get a view of the Ferris wheel beach at Urban Stay!!
📍Travel introduction
I went to Sokcho and stayed at a hotel with a Ferris wheel view that is hard to experience in Korea. It was a total hit. 🚩Travel route
🏖️Landmarks
Ferris wheel, beach, port
🚇Transportation
I took a bus from Dongbu Terminal and went there in one go.
But the bus was really congested so it took 6 hours. It was ridiculous...
📷Photo spot
The beach is a great photo spot
And the Ferris wheel is pretty at night!!
🍜Recommended restaurants
The fried chicken at the market is delicious
But it's good to go to the port and eat local fresh seafood, but overall, the baggage fees seem to be high
🏠Recommended accommodation
I slept at Urban Stay and was worried because they said there was construction going on, but it wasn't that noisy
💡Caution
Be careful of traffic jams and be careful of seafood bags ㅠㅠ#Travel plan #Sokcho #Domestic travel

A refreshing travel destination in Sokcho, Gangwon-do💙
#Travel Itinerary
Sokcho, Gangwon-do is famous for its delicious food,
but it also has many tourist attractions.
If you go to Sokcho, I'll introduce you to some travel destinations that you should definitely visit :)
Since Sokcho is in Gangwon-do,
I recommend a one-night, two-day trip!
I think it would be nice to enjoy the travel destinations that I recommend in this post
on a one-day schedule,
and then enjoy Sokcho Beach the next day!
Because there were more things to see and eat at Sokcho Beach
than I thought
so it was a little disappointing to go on a day trip!
It's not in the picture, but if you go,
make sure to try fried chicken🥹
📍 Sokcho, Gangwon-do travel course
1. Sokcho Beach. (I recommend Sokcho Aido.)
2. Sokcho Cheongcho Lake Park (It's really nice for a walk and pretty)

Sokcho sunrise
#CanadaFlightEvent
When I travel to Sokcho for sunrise, I often see the sunset, but I don't often see the sunrise. I guess I have to wake up early. This isn't my first time seeing the Sokcho sunrise, but thanks to someone who has to see it every New Year, I can see the beautiful scenery together.

How about the winter sea?!
I spontaneously decided to go to the winter sea.
Since Sokcho is relatively close, I think I go there more than twice a year.
Isn't the color of the winter sea strangely deep and beautiful?!
As soon as I arrived, I took a picture of Sokcho Eye and looked around the sea. How about the frame in the middle of the sea? Isn't it beautiful?
They call it a photo zone‼️
And when you think of Gangwon-do, don't you think of seafood!!!
I had steamed scallops and boiled squid, and they were so delicious!!
How about going to smell the winter sea and eat some seafood?!
I think Gangwon-do is great in winter💙

Must-see Sokcho travel moments for the coming summer
The most beautiful beach you can find in 3 hours from Seoul, Sokcho Beach, let's indulge in the charm of domestic travel during summer with surfing 🌊
📍Sokcho Beach
Sokcho Beach is divided into a beach for surfing and a beach for general water play. That's why you can enjoy water play more safely!
Rent a board at the surf shops along the beach and surf the blue waves, a must-do course 🏄♂️
📍Sokcho Ai
Sokcho Ai, which captures the blue ocean view with both eyes, is now Sokcho's representative landmark! Adults pay 12,000 won, so we recommend checking in for a day 🎡
📍Sokcho Central Market
Central Market where you can taste Sokcho! Raw fish and potato pancakes are good, but in Sokcho, crab is the best 🦀 Visit various stores and compare prices carefully

Cafe recommendations near Sokcho Beach✨
I'll recommend a cafe right in front of Sokcho Beach;)
It's 'Vuala Cafe Sokcho'👀
This is a cafe that also has a super sweet corn latte that I recommend you try when you travel to Gangwon-do
If you're a little far away to go for the original corn cream latte, why not stop by here?
The combination of the crunchy corn flavor and coffee is perfect😉
The atmosphere of the cafe was quiet and peaceful, and there was even a tree, so it felt like the end of the year-end!
It's really close to Sokcho Beach, so I definitely recommend you visit!

Places to visit in Sokcho! Great places to take pictures
#January travel support event #Sokcho travel #Places to visit in Sokcho
✨Oeongchi sea scent
The walking path is so well-made, and there is a wooden deck road
The walking path doesn't take long, and it takes about 15~20 minutes?
It's pretty because the surroundings are quiet and you can see the ocean
You can also see Sokcho Beach and the Ferris wheel from afar
✨Sokcho Ferris wheel
Ferris wheel on the beach
It has a slightly exotic feel
They say you can see the whole view of Seoraksan Mountain and the ocean if you ride the Ferris wheel
I hope you go there before it's demolished and take some pictures!

What are you talking about, Sokcho is the sea
Sokcho is the sea. This is the sea. Sokcho Beach is Sokcho.
It's good to go anytime, whether it's raining or sunny. Even when there are a lot of people, the bustle is enjoyable, but when it's quiet, the experience of walking along the quiet beach was really good. There are many pretty cafes nearby and a large Ferris wheel. There's a lot to do, so come.

Sokcho 2024 — Sokcho 8 days
#sokcho #sokchobeach
First time traveling to the Korean sea Why did we choose to go to Sokcho??
📍Sokcho, Gangwon is not just Seoraksan
For WFH people like us, our hearts often call for us to leave the country. The reason we went was to change the working atmosphere..😅 But we also visited the city, went shopping, but mostly stayed at the accommodation and cafes. And this time we chose to go to Sokcho, Gangwon, South Korea 🇰🇷🌊 A small city with few people, 50 km from North Korea.
.
.
We went in October, which was Sokcho.. It rained, was windy, and was cold. We went for 8 days, and it rained for 6 days, meaning 24 hours X 6 days 5555555555 It's crazy, but it's okay. The atmosphere is not bad. It makes us fall in love in a strange way.
.
.
🚌 Travel When we arrived in Korea, we bought a bus ticket from Incheon Airport to Sokcho. It took about 3 hours +-. When we arrived, we took a taxi to the accommodation.
Why a taxi? Because it's a small city, there are very few cars, and so are the buses. We stayed for 8 days and saw them pass by 4 times. Some days we didn't see any buses at all. So most of the time when we went to eat or shop, we chose to walk. 🚶♀️ But if it's really far and our legs are tired, we took a taxi. 🚕
🏢 There are a fair number of accommodations there, including large hotels, small hotels, and houses. Choose according to your convenience and style. As for us, we stayed at an airbnb near the beach and Sokcho Eye.
.
.
And this is the place we chose to go. There were snacks and food too. Try searching the name on naver map or looking for more information on google.

I recommend taking a boat ride at Sokcho Beach.
#DecemberTravelSupportEvent The boat ride at Sokcho Beach is truly memorable. The moment of speeding over the blue sea and feeling the cool breeze was so exciting, and the freedom I felt while looking out at the wide ocean view was special. The time I enjoyed while swaying on the waves was really thrilling, and at that moment, all the stress of daily life seemed to disappear. It was even more fun because I was with friends, and the boat ride at Sokcho Beach remained as another memory.

Precious memories made with a friend I’ve known for 10 years at Sokcho Beach!
#DecemberTravelSupportEvent The memories I made with my 10-year friend at Sokcho Beach were really special. We walked together with the ocean in the background, laughed, and made memories. We played in the water and shared simple snacks on the beach, and had a leisurely time. As I thought about the times we spent together, I felt even more precious. That moment with the sound of the ocean waves will always remain as a memorable memory. I was happy to be able to make another special memory in Sokcho with my friend of 10 years.

Sokcho Beach, the perfect combination of grilled clams and soju!
#December Travel Support Event I enjoyed fresh grilled clams with soju at a grilled clam restaurant in front of Sokcho Beach. The chewy texture of the freshly grilled clams and the flavor full of the scent of the sea were superb, and it went perfectly with a glass of soju. The atmosphere of eating while looking at the sea made the taste even more special. The staff were kind and attentive, so I was able to eat comfortably. If you want to enjoy proper seafood with the sea during your trip to Sokcho, I highly recommend it.
