About
Baekdo Beach lies between Sokcho and Ganseong. Baekdo Auto Camping Site, a public campsite on the beach, is known as a seaside camp with views over the ocean. The name Baekdo comes from a white rock islet off the beach, and the small Baekdo Port sits above it, connecting to Munam Port and Munam Beach below. Behind the beach, the silhouette of the Seoraksan range and dense pine forests add to the scenery. The curved sandy shore and gentle slope make it well suited to swimming, and many visitors now enjoy surfing here.
