The story

Sokcho Tourism describes Cheongho Beach as a major living ground for displaced residents of Abai Village.

Behind the signature

Its strongest role is contextual. The beach links refugee settlement history, fishing life, food culture, sunrise, and the bridge-lit skyline in one compact area.

Local tip

Pair it with Abai Village, Abai Village Ferry, the mural street, or nearby seafood and North Korean-style food stops.

Seasonal note

It is usable year-round, but sunrise and clear-night bridge views are the best reasons to detour here outside summer.

For travelers

For international visitors, this makes Abai Village feel like a lived coastal neighborhood rather than a single food street or photo stop.

💡
Pro tip
Come here for a quiet coastal pause after Abai Village and the Gaetbae, especially when you want the sea without the busier Sokcho Beach scene.
