At Anmok Coffee Street, you can enjoy a cup of coffee and have lunch. Right at the entrance, there is a restaurant that serves delicious kalguksu and dumpling soup, making it a great spot for a satisfying meal. Don't forget to take advantage of the restaurant's break time and pay it a visit.

You are not allowed to set up or use shade cloths or tents, but the beach has crystal clear water and is not crowded, making it perfect for a peaceful water play. Moreover, pets are welcome, allowing you to enjoy the water with your furry friends. Additionally, there is a well-maintained road leading to the nearby Anmok Beach Cafe Street, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely stroll. It seems like there are many people engaged in fishing, camping, and staying in their cars.

Namhangjin Beach is a secluded spot in Gangwon-do, just a 15-minute drive from downtown Gangneung. It's a favorite among locals, with a 1.5 km long sandy beach and dense pine trees giving it a cozy feel. Plus, it's conveniently close to the city, so you can easily explore nearby attractions like Ojukheon, Gyeongpodae, and Chamsori Museum. And if you're feeling adventurous, you can try the Aranabi house experience, where you can soar over the sea like a butterfly. There's also a beach swing for some relaxation and plenty of restaurants nearby. And at night, the sea looks even more beautiful with the guidance lights.
