- How to get there
- Express bus from Dong Seoul Bus Terminal to Samcheok (about 3 hr 20 min), then about 15 min by taxi (7 km).
- Tip
- The BTS photo zone (parasols, sunbeds, volleyball net) was removed in January 2024 at the agency's request, so today it's simply the beach; swimming is allowed only in the summer season (about July to mid-August).
