a 500m walk from Sokcho Express Bus Terminal. The scenery of its clear water,
white sand and the pine forest is beautiful, and the nearby bus terminal makes
transportation very convenient. It is also close to Seorak Mountain, and many
hikers come by here as they go through Daecheongbong to Seorak-dong from inner
Seorak area. The white sand is 2km long, extending through Cheongho-dong,
Joyang-dong, and Daepo-dong. The area open to the public is 0.45 Km long, 75m
wide, making it about 9,000 pyeong, and more and more people come to visit
because of the superb quality of the sand. Sokcho beach plays an important role
in displaying Sokcho-si as a great tourist area along with Seorak Mountain,
Cheoksan Hot Springs, Cheongchoho, and Yeongrangho etc. On the bulwark, to the
left of the beach, there are many places where you can enjoy hwaleo hoe (fresh
sashimi). You can also enjoy sea-fishing by taking a boat to Jo Island in the
