If you’re searching for a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of suggestions. Located 18 miles away, Yeongwol is worth the drive. Byeolmaro Observatory, Gossi Cave and Cheongnyeongpo Cape alone justify the drive out here. Locals are also likely to point you toward Donghae, 25 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Mangsang Beach. (But we’re also big fans of Chuam Chotdaebawi Rock and Samcheok Beach.)
