Hello everyone
Summers in Korea are incredibly hot, right? For international students who are spending their summer vacations in Korea, aren’t you wondering where to go for your vacation? It’s a shame to spend the hot and humid summers in Seoul. So today, I’d like to recommend a trip to a beach where you can enjoy the cool ocean and clear skies!
Gangwon-do is a popular summer travel destination because it is easily accessible from Seoul and the ocean is clean and wide. There are also many international students attending universities in Seoul, so I think Gangwon-do is a great choice for a summer vacation travel destination.
For example, Sokcho is easily accessible by KTX and is close to the terminal, making it very convenient to visit by public transportation. Gyeongpo Beach is also a place I would like to recommend. This is the most popular beach representing Gangneung. The white sand is wide and the atmosphere is lively, making it a place where you can really feel the charm of the summer sea. Also, Naksan Beach in Yangyang offers many surfing lessons and is a place where many foreign visitors come, making it a convenient and enjoyable place for international students~
This year, Gangwon-do beaches will open sequentially from late June to mid-July and will be open until mid- to late August. Please refer to the schedule below to plan your vacation~ And if you want to enjoy the night view and cool breeze together, be sure to check the night opening schedule!
If you are planning a trip to Gangwon-do Beach, make sure to bring sunscreen! The Korean summer sunlight is quite strong! And a waterproof phone bag is also a must-have item. July and August are peak seasons, so you should also book accommodations near the beach in advance ~
