Yangyang Dongho Beach

Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do · River, sea & lake

Yangyang Dongho Beach: This Saturday (Sat, Oct 31) looks moderate (daily crowd index 73); the quietest day in the next 30 days is Wed, Oct 28; weekday average 22, weekend average 64; the quietest day of the week is Wednesday.

This relatively small beach is located in Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do. It is 500 meters in length and 55 meters in x_width, and has an average depth of 1.2 meters. The beach is particularly known for its soft and fine sand, often considered to be the best on the east coast. Despite its excellent scenery and clear water, the beach is relatively obscure and peaceful. It is only open during the daytime between July and August. The pine trees surrounding the beach are protected areas, and visitors are prohibited from entering. Surfing is another draw of the beach, and the surf shop offers lessons and equipment rentals. Scuba diving is also available on site. An interesting insight into the folk tradition is “anchovy flinging,” a traditional method of catching anchovies that involve about 70 people working together to pull a big net from the sea to land. This experience is offered free of charge during the opening of the beach, and requires payment for periods outside the vacation season. Prior reservation is required through the official website. The beach enjoys excellent access from Yangyang International Airport and a 20-min ride from Yangyang city center. Dongho-ri Beach Campground, Seoraksan Mountain, and Osaek District can be found nearby.
