The beachfront promenade works well for low-angle sea shots, and couple snaps look more natural from the sand side than the railing sections.
Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province, Sokcho-si, Jangsa-dong 517-13
It is a good brunch-and-coffee stop with ocean-view window seats, and the large glass reflections also work well for mood photos.
The small harbor, fishing boats, and breakwater combine nicely for soft afternoon photo shots.
