Hajodae Beach

Hajodae Beach is a 2km long, gently curving beach on the eastern coast of Gangwon Province, in the Yangyang area. It is one of the popular beach destinations along the central Gangwon coast. The beach features fine pale sand and the Hajodae Pavilion, a traditional Korean pavilion on a rocky outcrop at the southern end. This pavilion is a photographed sunrise spot on the East Coast. In recent years, the beach has become a Korean surfing destination due to steady East Sea wave conditions. Casual restaurants, surfboard rental shops, and guesthouses are located behind the beach. The pavilion silhouette is best viewed at sunrise. It can be combined with other Yangyang area activities, including surfing.
