About

Oeongchi Beach is a small beach near Daepo Port, about 400 m long and 50 m wide. It is an extension of Sokcho Beach and lies about a five-minute drive from it, between the busy Daepo Port and Sokcho Beach. Its quieter setting and fewer tourists make it a good choice for swimming in summer. A temporary summer beach opens each summer with restrooms, water supply, showers, changing rooms, a lookout tower, and lifeguards and staff.
