Sacheon Beach lies between Gyeongpo Beach and Yeongok Beach in Gangneung. It is 300 m long, covers 18,000 m², and is known for being quiet and clean. Opened on July 1, 1975, it is next to Gyeongpo-do Provincial Park and draws many summer visitors each year. Its wide pine forest, clean sand and shallow water make it a calm place to spend a summer day, and its emerald-colored sea shifts with the seasons. It is a favorite spot for scuba divers, anglers and families, and it also offers a good environment for auto camping.
