[2025 Sokcho-si ] Travel Guide for Sokcho Beach (Updated Jun)

Sokcho is a representative tourist city in South Korea where Seoraksan Mountain and the East Sea come together. It's truly the perfect travel destination where you can enjoy both the mountains and the sea! 😉 💙Central Market Sokcho Central Market, one of the top 10 tourist markets in Korea, is filled with delicious food. The most famous item here is undoubtedly the Dakgangjeong (sweet and spicy fried chicken)! It's so popular that almost every traveler to Sokcho carries a box of Dakgangjeong. In addition to this, there are other treats like squid sundae and fried snacks, making Central Market a must-visit spot in Sokcho. ♥️Sokcho Beach Sokcho is located right by the East Sea, making it a great place for swimming in the summer. Even if it's not summer, you can't miss the sea when visiting Sokcho! Sokcho Beach also features the Sokcho Ferris Wheel, which is a fantastic photo spot. 💕Seoraksan Cable Car While in Sokcho, take the cable car to experience the beauty of Seoraksan Mountain. The cable car takes you to Gwongeumseong Fortress, where you can enjoy a pleasant walk. However, keep in mind that the cable car may not operate during strong winds, so be sure to check in advance! 💙Enjoy a happy time in Sokcho, filled with the sea, mountains, and delicious food! 😉

#couplestrip #awesomepic Sokcho Beach is one on the prettiest sunrise spots. I don't have to describe much and let the photos speak for themselves. It's only 3 hours drive from Seoul and I can guarantee you will never regret this in your entire life. You can also enjoy fresh seafoods around the beach. I have fulfilled my life bucket list, and now this is your time! These picture are 100% no filter. I read somewhere that South Korea has multiple spots for first sunrise that people crowd during new year so I booked a flight ticket this year autumn just to see if they are true.

📍 Sokcho Beach 🗺️ Gangwon Sokcho-si Joyang-dong ✔️ Beach open in July-August / Free public parking I visited Sokcho several times this summer for my summer vacation! Every time I went, the cool blue sea and cool waves made me feel like the heat was gone 〰️🤤 Please note that there were times when you couldn't get in due to frequent swells! There were times when you couldn't get in at all because of the fence, and times when you could only dip your feet under the control of the safety guard! Even if you couldn't get in, everyone set up a mat and tent in front and enjoyed their vacation leisurely, so don't worry too much I recommend a summer vacation at the beautiful Sokcho beach #Gangwon-do travel

If you visit Sokcho Beach, you must ride the Sokcho Kids Ferris Wheel at least once. Since it is so famous, the waiting line is quite long. If you look at the notes while waiting, it says that you cannot choose the color of the Ferris Wheel. You have to ride the car that comes out according to your order, so it seems like you need luck. Fortunately, we rode the red one that the kids wanted😊 📍Sokcho Kids 🔹️2 Cheongho Coastal Road, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do, Sokcho Kids 🔹️Naver reservations available 🔹️On-site ticketing available 🔹️Recommended tours linked to Sokcho Beach . . #SokchoTravel #FerrisWheel #Sokcho

Let's go to the beach in the summer!!! We went to Sokcho on a trip within Korea! The sea is crystal clear and really beautiful! At night, the Ferris wheel is lit up and it's also very beautiful! There are many photo spots, cute cafes around, and it was bustling with people until late at night! There is a large parking lot nearby! When you feel like setting off fireworks...you can't do it on this beach, so do it somewhere you can! Let's go to the beach and cool off in the hot summer! #202308SummerTrip #KoreaTrip #SummerShortTrip

I went to Sokcho Beach! If there is the London Eye in London, Sokcho Beach is the Sokcho Eye! The round Ferris wheel is majestically guarding you, and the ocean is right in front of you, so when you go up on the Ferris wheel and look at the ocean, it feels like your heart is exploding! There are many rest areas here and there, and the bathrooms are clean. Sokcho Beach is very considerate and considerate of tourists. If you go to Sokcho, you should definitely visit Sokcho Beach~ #Beach #Couples

#SokchoTravel Bossanova Coffee Roasters, famous for its Sokcho Eye view. I heard it was so popular that there was only one amber butter left in the large showcase when I went around 4 o'clock, but I don't know about the coffee taste. But Sokcho Eye view is amazing. Does it feel like Japan? But the rooftop was on the 4th or 5th floor? There was no elevator. This old lady almost went back out of breath... So order and go to the rooftop^^ Bossanova Coffee Roasters is right in front of the Sokcho sea, so buy a cup of coffee and take a walk on the beach.. Highly recommended~~~ #BossanovaCoffee #SokchoAi

📍Sokcho Beach Isn't the first course of your Sokcho trip the Amukta Sokcho Beach!? A place where you can heal just by looking at the blue sea and waves! You can also ride the Ferris wheel 'Sokcho Ai', and take a walk along the sea road and take a picture of your life! There are many pretty cafes and restaurants nearby! You can also walk to the jar of raw fish and it is also close to the Sokcho Terminal, so I recommend it! #Beach

#WinterTravel I went to Sokcho to see the winter sea. Whalelight Cafe, a cafe near Sokcho Cable Car! As it is a cafe with a wintery atmosphere, there were many people and many pretty seats! I recommend it to those who come to enjoy the winter sea👍👍

Sokcho Beach is pretty. It's emerald colored. It's healing just by sitting still and looking at it. The Ferris wheel ends before 7 o'clock, so I recommend riding it before the sun sets.

Sokcho Beach is said to be the largest on the East Coast. The East Sea is so wide and endlessly long that it seems even prettier. The Sokcho Kids Ferris Wheel in front of Sokcho Beach is the only beach Ferris Wheel in Korea, and the view from the Ferris Wheel is so pretty. However, there were too many people, so I couldn't ride it. 🤣

📍Location: Joyang-dong, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do Sokcho Beach is a must-visit course when traveling to Sokcho. It used to be a place to enjoy swimming, but now that the Sokcho Kids Ferris Wheel has been built, there are even more people! It's cool even if you don't ride the Ferris Wheel and just watch it from afar~ I stop by Sokcho Beach every time I come, but it's still a place worth stopping by on my next trip! #SokchoTravel #SokchoBeach #SokchoKids #SokchoFerrisWheel #PlacesToVisitInSokcho

I went there without any expectations, but it was so beautiful when I saw it in front of my eyes. Especially when the sunset was going down, the colors were so pretty that I just stared blankly. ㅎㅎ #SokchoTravel #SokchoKids #SokchoHotPlace
