Daejin Beach

Daejin Beach is an East Sea beach in Goseong, Gangwon-do, with fine sand, surrounding pine forest, and clear views of the open sea. As one of the East Sea's quieter beaches near the inter-Korean border, Daejin offers a more local atmosphere than Sokcho's busier beaches. For travelers driving Gangwon's East Sea coast and wanting a quiet beach stop, Daejin is one of the cleaner small single picks. Best as a half-day stop with seafood lunch.
