Chuam Beach
Chuam Beach is one of Korea's most photographed coastal landmarks — a small East Sea beach in Donghae famous for the iconic 'Chuam Chotdaebawi' (Chuam Candle Rock), a tall narrow rock formation rising directly from the sea. The beach has structured walking paths, observation decks, and the rock formation as the central scenic element. For travelers driving Donghae's coast and wanting a strong scenic photo destination, Chuam is one of the strongest specialty single picks. Best at sunrise.
