This 2.8 km walk along the rocky coast can be enjoyed by most and not just the super fit. Do start from the Jeongdong end at the Sun Cruise resort as advised by a tripadvisor reviewer as it's easier to go down the higher steeper stairs here. Try not to be nervous when treading on iron grill steps and boardwalk. I thoroughly enjoyed the walk despite the effort of going up and down stairs in several parts. Although visitors are not supposed to take photos along the walk, many of us tend to forget without any problem fortunately. Upon reaching Simgok, we spotted a waiting cab and hopped into it to head for Chodang Village to have our sundubu lunch.
3. Nami Island

Nami Island is Korea’s most globally recognized tourist destination and cultural brand welcoming over 3.3 million guests annually. Combining a refreshingly beautiful natural setting only 63 kilometers from Korea’s capital of Seoul, Nami Island is a peaceful place promoting culture and leisure in harmony with humanity and nature.

My daughter and I visited Seoraksan as part of a month long trip around South Korea. We stayed in Sokcho-si for 3 nights and this proved to be an excellent choice as a local number 7 or 7-1 bus takes you into the gates of the National Park for 1250₩ The park has multiple routes and trails you can follow of varying distances and heights to climb. There is a cable car to one of the peaks but we opted for a 3km climb (mostly steps but initially there are rocky paths to clamber up) to Towangseongpokpo. The MOST STUNNING views when I finally made it to the top! My daughter danced on ahead like it was no effort ???? I’ve attached a few pictures - if you are visiting South Korea and are able to squeeze in a day trip to Seoraksan, I promise it will be worth it!

388/5000 view of gyeongpo beach in mid-december 2019. The beach is very beautiful for children to play even though the cold wind blows very hard and big waves. the cold experience while walking paid off with a visit to a very large number of seafood restaurants at affordable prices. about 50% cheaper compared to the same menu at the hotel we stayed.
