Perfect blue - Gangneung
#traveldiaries
For many years, Gangneung has been an attractive destination for travelers seeking a seaside getaway. The stunning blue waters of Gangneung Beach make it one of the most beautiful beaches in South Korea. For a two-day, one-night visit, spending time around Gyeongpo Beach is a fantastic choice.
The vibrant life of Gangneung is on full display here, with people gathering along the coastline until midnight. You can rent an electric bike and ride along the coast—it's an enjoyable experience and definitely worth trying. Be sure to sample the seafood, especially the clams. The local restaurants often fill them with cheese and grill them, creating a delicious treat!
Another experience you shouldn't miss is setting off fireworks. Every convenience store here sells them, and at night, many people light up the coastline with colorful displays—it's a beautiful sight!

No perfect summer without the sea.
Explore the pristine blue waters on the eastern coast of South Korea at the renowned beaches of Gangneung. What is a perfect summer vacation without a seaside escape? Come and experience the most beautiful beaches in South Korea. With white sand and azure waters, Gangneung offers a great alternative if you prefer not to visit the crowded beaches of Busan or if you’re not up for a flight to Jeju Island. Visit a local coffee shop, rent a picnic set, and immerse yourself in the ideal summer ocean vibes of South Korea!

cherry blossom festival in Gyeongpo Beach
#dreamdestination
In spring, there is a cherry blossom festival near Gyeongpo Beach. There are a lot of people. Cherry blossoms on Gyeongpo Beach in Korea are very famous. You can see really beautiful pink trees.

waking up to the sound of East Sea
Gangneung, located about 2 hours away from Seoul is a perfect getaway from the city life and unwind yourselves. It is easily served via KTX to Gangneung station directly. Having travelled to both Busan and Gangneung, I personally prefer the beach in Gangneung than Busan as it is less touristy. Travel within the city can easily be done via bus or taxi which is a plus.
