Sunrise With Love in South Korea 🇰🇷
#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 | The Sokcho Beach is so healing!
After touring Abai Village, I walked directly to Sokcho Beach via the Seorak Bridge trail, and this path surprised me so much!!
From the bridge, I could see the village and the sea on one side, and on the other side were the snow-capped Seorak Mountain and the green Cheongcho Lake. The fusion of these views was just too beautiful.
🚶Walking to the breakwater by the beach, the entire seascape was also very open, and I kept going wow wow wow all the way – it wasn't tiring at all. Just walking, looking around, taking pictures, and before I knew it, I had arrived at Sokcho Beach.
Sokcho Beach
The beach had a few more people than other places, but it was still not crowded this season, mostly locals or people from other parts of Korea. They were playing in the water, sunbathing, enjoying the breeze, walking, fishing, etc., and it looked like an enviable daily life.
🎡The Ferris wheel is also right by the beach, which makes for a nice photo backdrop.
Besides seagulls, there were also a lot of pigeons foraging on the beach, and they were basically not afraid of people, all looking cute and adorable.
🚶Walking along the beach to the other side, you reach the Beach (actually, it's the same beach, just that there are more rocks on the Oeongchi side). The entrance to the Sea Aroma Road is also at the end of this beach.
I often see people saying that Gangneung is more beautiful than Sokcho, that Sokcho is boring and not worth visiting, etc. To be objective, each city on the East Coast has its own charm, and I think both Gangneung and Sokcho are beautiful and worth visiting! As long as you encounter a sunny day, any seascape you snap is a masterpiece!
I want to visit Sokcho again next time. The autumn trekking up Seorak Mountain is also incredibly scenic~

Beautiful scenery. In the summertime it's really busy. Fireworks (but security limits them), night market food stalls, carnival games, and lots of photo ops. Daytime it's packed with families and night time you're not allowed in the water but it's bustling with people out for an evening stroll. Worth visiting in the summertime for day time and night time experiences.
They gave public washrooms (really clean), and air or water pumps to clean your shoes or feet once you're out of the sand. Safe, kid friendly, and lots to do/see here.
In May this year I went out to explore east coast of Korea. Seokcho beach is one of the many famous beaches located on Eastern coastline of South Korea. As expeted, the beach was very clean and blue water of the East Sea with moderate waves was a relaxing sight. We laid out our mat and lied their for hours and let the sun do the rest. Kids also enjoyed to their maximum. However, we could not go into the water for swimming as the water was still cold. Normally in Korea, swimming in the beaches start during the month of June. East coast sealine is clean and bluish as compared West coast beaches which are a bit muddy. A number of hotels are also present near the beach which offer boarding and lodginh to visitors.
