You may prepare Korean information.

The beach is lovely

Unlimited food (at the port), quite neighborhood, I would go there again.

Getting around is relatively easy as the local buses runs on regular intervals. There are no subways in Sokcho and the best way to view the city is via the buses. The local buses will even take you all the way to the base of Mount Seoraksan for only 1100 Won (1 USD). They do not accept T-Money however. There are many interesting sights to see along the beaches as well. Fishermen bring in fresh seafood right to the pier where we could walk and watch them unload their bounty after which there are also restaurants lining the pier which offers fresh seafood on the menu. The main town in Sokcho also offers cafés and restaurants with a few familiar burger joints like McDonalds. The shopping is not too bad as well, there are quite a few famous brands which set up shop there. Getting around Sokcho is easy if you are willing to rough it out on a bus travelling with locals and eating local delicacies. For someone who does not speak a word of Korean, me and my wife managed to move around in Sokcho easily. There is a tourist information counter at the main bus terminal...it's a must stop for travellers coming in to Sokcho. The officer speaks very good English and are more than willing to answer all your questions about this small town.

The express terminal bus stop is also centrally located and Sokcho beach is just a 5 mins. walk from the bus terminal on our left side. We spent a good time at the beach despite it was winter with snow on the ground. We enjoyed a good lunch at a restaurant serving red crabs cooked either simply by boiling in water; ramen or rice. The restaurant staff could not speak English but nevertheless, we enjoyed the great moment trying to communicate with each other including using Google translation. From the beach, we could also see the Mt Soraksan as the nice city backdrop.

Nature at its best with different fall color. Lot of hiking trails for different section of people. I tasted crab there and it is very nice and well cooked.

There are plenty of great seafood restaurants all over the city. Sokcho is also known for a special kind of soondae (Korean blood sausage) that is made with squid and squid ink instead of pig blood. It is very delicious and filling. Sokcho is on the east coast, so there are beaches and water activities for people to do as well. The sunrises are particularly beautiful on the east coast! The beaches are not as nice as other Asian countries or Hawaii, and in the summer they are very busy. But they are still nice and worth the trip.

There is a cable cart in place at the entrance of the park. Within minutes you are taken to a beautiful view lodge. Safe and comfortable hiking trails are in place. For those individuals that like to dare; you can keep hiking to find the perfect view.

Cheoksan Spa is beautiful and relaxing. Daehpo (?) raw fish market is worth going to, delicious.

This quiet town is a good choice for everyone who want to escape from business town.

Easy to get to and very relaxing.

better to stay inside the town and take transportation to Sorak Mountain.

It has mountains to climb and a beach to relax on~ lovely and a must-see in Korea!

This was location for drama Autumn in my heart ald also location for the 1N2D variety show (the team's photos are plastered on every shop and restaurant front). For cheapest seafood walk further out to seafront at Daepo port where there are over 100 stalls under canvas tents with live fish in tanks. 50000W can get you a basket of 3 large fishes and a couple of squid- eat the fish raw and sliced, then the bones are cooked in a rich broth. Smaller stalls sell fresh bivalves for bbq.

korean sauna is also suggested.

There are a few well known establishments around, but mostly local businesses.

Bus departs daily from 7 AM to 11 PM from Seoul. There is one stop on the way for toilet break where you could get some souvenir at good price. Sighseeing in Sokcho includes: the beach, observation tower, Rodeo street, etc. Grab your guide at the bus terminal.
