Songjiho Beach

송지호 해수욕장 · Gangwon · Beaches & islands

Located near Songjiho Lake, one of the most famous lagoons on the eastern coast of Korea, Songjiho Beach stretches 2 kilometers in length and is 100 meters wide. It is also located close to Seoraksan Mountain. The beach is quite popular, thanks to its clear water and shallow depth. The island just off the coast, Jukdo Island, features a handsome collection of bamboo trees and unique rock formations.
