A lot has changed since 10 years ago. There seem to be a lot of high-rise buildings.

It is a beach with clear sea water and clean sand. It is well equipped with convenient facilities such as restrooms, and pine trees along the beach form a windbreak.Even though the sea is out of season, it is good for a quiet walk as the surrounding area is not very commercialized.

It’s been a while since I came to Sokcho Beach.The beach sand is fine and the water is cool, making it great for swimming.There is a new Ferris wheel, new buildings in the surrounding commercial district, and surrounding facilities have been modernized to attract more users.This has become easier to use.Still, why do I miss the memories of the old beach?

The sandy beach and facilities are well maintained.Sokcho has become so urbanized that it contrasts with the beach and surrounding buildings.I like that the accommodation is close to Sokcho Jungang Market.Beautiful and clean beach.It is a great contrast to the beach and tall buildings.It is near the central market, and hotels.Gražus paplūdimys prie miesto centro and market place ir viešbučiai šalia.
