Namhangjin Beach is an informal beach with a 600 m long shoreline and 24,000 square meters of sand. It sits east of Gangneung, where the Seomseokcheon stream meets the sea, and the water is known for being clear and blue. Surrounded by dense pine forest and well-kept guesthouses, it suits a quiet stay of several days. As camping has grown in popularity, a pine grove for camping has opened here, and the coffee street of Gangneung Port is just beyond the breakwater.
