Bongpo Beach is located 3 km north of Sokcho City Hall and is designated as a simple beach centered on a small harbor. The water is clear, the sand is fine, and the nearby waters are rich in fish, so visitors can go sea fishing from the breakwater year-round as well as swim, making it a popular summer destination. A pine forest spreads around the beach, where visitors can also enjoy forest bathing. Various accommodations and restaurants are nearby, and fresh live raw fish from Bongpo Port is available.
