So many people were there since it was drizzling outside. People seemed to have no umbrella with them.. probably one of reasons why there were so many. I bought a Manseok chicken which looked like a small factory (later on, me and my brother had severe stomachache. Meaning, their oil quality is really bad) ordered and received the chicken less than a minute. A seafood fries were fresh and delicious if I didn't have to wait for 20 minutes after payment..... I took my dogs and business owners seemed really nice to pets. But you can't let them walk on the aisles but carrying them in your arms. Otherwise people will keep stepping on your dog's paw and give him or her a traumatic day or hurting.

It's a wonderful market that sells various seafood commodities and street food. However, it is too crowded and many stalls draw in long queues. Prices are definitely not cheap, in fact a soup dish with side dishes in restaurants are much cheaper than 1 skewered seafood, and some restaurants have plenty of seats available. It's significantly less crowded at Daepo port so I would prefer to go there instead to have seafood dishes. If you do come here, avoid coming in the evening, especially on Friday and weekend.

It's a bit crowded. Various restaurants are located in the market. In particular, you can mainly eat sashimi and seafood. It is fun to walk while watching fresh seafood alive. However, it was a bit uncomfortable when passing by because most of the merchants were soliciting. There are quite a lot of famous tempura and crab restaurants, so it was difficult to choose one. It is a mainly tourist destination, so the price of foods are a bit expensive.

This is very interesting market place. Most tourists buy take out food for dinner or lunch. There are also some crab restaurants. Imported king crabs tend to be five times more expensive than local crabs. Local vegetable, fish and bread is good quality and good price.

There's a big multi storey carpark in walking distance, very convenient. The market has lotsa dried seafood, crabs (KRW55k per kg) and street food. We had the fried chicken and it was super yummy! The one we had (many fried chicken stalls) only sell one size KRW22k u can opt boneless or chicken parts with bones- we opt boneless. At one corner is a lady selling porridge and paejeon, we had kimchi paejeon and abalone porridge. Nice for cold weather.

Well... first of all, it was expensive. It was good because there was a parking lot and it was organized well, but it was a bit disappointing Because they sell similar things. But it was expensive because the economy is not good these days. So I just went to E-Mart.

So many kinds of food here! It was raining and crowded on Monday night. If you’re visiting Sokcho, please visit here too!

The famous place in Sokcho where you can eat lots of delicious food. This is a must visit place. The parking structure is massive. Although you have to wait.

Bustling market. Lots to see from vegetables to fruits and fresh seafood. Many food stores as well for king crab and budget friendly snacks

If you are a foodie this is definitely a must try! Many foods to choose from! Cons long queue for popular food stalls 😅

The market is pretty big but you’ll notice only a few vendors are really busy. Definitely try the seafood vendors they’re really good and you can watch them cook in front of you. What I thought was weird is we went to one place and wanted something and they said it was sold out even though it was on display, and they said everything on display is actually fake. Crazy huh!

Everything in this place is amazing, the food, the people I have a great time tasting all the delicious street food in sokcho

A large variety of food sold here, and you can wander up and down looking for what you crave for lunch or dinner. However if you’re looking for seafood, it is pretty expensive here

The fishery market is quite clean and not smelly..

Definitely a must visit!!!! So many interesting food and Korean stuff to see

Beautiful beach has white sand, clean and well maintain love it, but there’s a lot of jellyfish

Its beautiful beach with additional view for ferris wheel which make it more perfect! you should come in summer, its a perfect time to be there! and its not far from express bus terminal even you can walk from there, so as soon as you arrive in sokcho by bus, you can go directly to sokcho beach~ you can walk a little bit to the right side and there is a stairs that is the best spot to take a picture there! you'll be enjoying and don't wanna go back home xixixixi enjoy!🤍

Pleasant and clean, with surfboard rentals, a Ferris wheel nearby and an modest assortment cafes and conveniently located guest houses, this is an attractive beach but is unlikely to make anyones list of world class beaches, and not even likely to qualify as one of Korea’s best beaches.

Beautiful beach facing the East Sea! They decorated the pier with colorful lights at night and painted it with fish and crabs. It has fine white sand and close to hotels and restaurants. Don't miss out walking at night or riding the ferris wheel. Also try to wake up early and head over here to watch the sunrise.

Great beach with a beautiful view of a every small island. Frequent fireworks on weekends (not sure about weekdays). Safe area, and you are allowed to pitch a tent on the beach and camp (for FREE!) ... surrounded by many coffee shops and restaurants. Public showers and toilets in the parking area (in the event that you want to camp)

I love it here 🌊📸👏🇰🇷

Beautiful scenery. In the summertime it's really busy. Fireworks (but security limits them), night market food stalls, carnival games, and lots of photo ops. Daytime it's packed with families and night time you're not allowed in the water but it's bustling with people out for an evening stroll. Worth visiting in the summertime for day time and night time experiences. They gave public washrooms (really clean), and air or water pumps to clean your shoes or feet once you're out of the sand. Safe, kid friendly, and lots to do/see here.

Sokcho Beach, with its tranquil shoreline and breathtaking views of Seoraksan Mountain, is a coastal gem. The nearby Sokcho Eye offers a unique perspective of this beauty from above. A must-visit combo for nature and adventure lovers! 🌊🏔️🎡 #SokchoBeach #SeoraksanMountain #SokchoEye #NatureAndAdventure #gangwon#gangwonstate#goseong#sokcho#gangwonforestryexhibition#fundaykoreanetworks @funday.korea.networks

Very nice and clean beach with great amenities. Great for a swim! High waves so maybe not suitable for small children.

This beach is very close from Sokcho Express Bus Terminal by 5 minutes walking distance. It's one of the famous beaches among tourists. It has white sand and a Ferris wheel also known as Sokcho Eye that you can ride on to see the beach from the sky. You can enjoy the sand beneath your feet, the smell of salt, the wind that brushes your cheeks, the wave that kisses the shore, and the ocean that makes you feel small.

We had this motor boat ride in the sea n it was awesome..i definitely recommend the motor ride n ferris wheel i.e sokchoeye

First opened in 1976, Sokcho Beach is one of Korea's most popular beaches. It is located a short walking distance from Sokcho Express Bus Terminal, making it popular among tourists. The waters here are clean and shallow, adding to the popularity of this beach during the summer season. There are also many restaurants and convenience facilities located near the beach, as well as a small park with walking trails through a pine forest. Along the beach, visitors can find interesting and unique photo spots and sculptures. Busking performances and festivals also take place throughout the year.

It's quite worth to have a short stay here. We came here for the night view, but the time a bit early, so we also have some wall and rest at the park down the tower. The view of morning and night of the tower are different. So after became dark, we bought tickets and go up to see sokcho night view. It's very quiet when we there so we able took a lot of photos at upstairs and there's not so many people. After see the night view, we came down again for it's night time colored tower.

The entrance fee to the tower was 2500 won! The view was good! I think it was expensive somehow😆

Tower in Sokcho, you can buy a ticket, take an elevator and enjoy the view on Sokcho. However, I think the view from bridge is better since you can see Seoraksan mountains.

Amazing view, it's a cheap entry ticket you can observe the river and the mountains and drink coffee at the coffee shop! Definitely a must go when you visit sokcho!

Some nice night views of the inner harbor/lake area of sokcho (didn't go at day) but as others have said, the outside of the glass could be clearer. This is not exceptionally tall (for those who fear heights) or expensive/crowded (for those who fear tourist traps). Price was 1500 won and there was no wait for elevators in either direction. At that price, it's definitely still worth a quick trip up!

Entrance only $2, great video, beautiful park just across the street. It looks great at night!

It's 5,000 won to go up. Good view of the city and mountains, but there isn't much to see. It looks cooler from the outside than inside. If you want a nice panoramic view you'll get one, but I'm not sure it's worth it.

Nice winter walk around the lake!

Nice place to walk and playing Pokémon go

Not a lot to see there at this time of the year...

When you enter the ecological park trail, you can experience a unique atmosphere as there is a path between grass and reeds that are as tall as a person. There is a public restroom and a dog park nearby. It is one of the best paths to take a walk near Sokcho while viewing various flowers and grass.

(Translated by Google) It's delicious, but the regular flavor is a bit spicy, and I think it's a bit disappointing that they just give it the packaged version. (Original) 맛있긴한데 보통맛도 살짝 매운감이 있고 그냥 포장되있는걸 바로준다는게 좀 아쉬운것같아요

The Korean roasted fish restaurant. This is one of famous restaurant to tourist. Restaurant staff roast fresh fish and serve on dish. It''s so convenient and delicious. actually it's not easy to roast fish at home due to smoke and smell, it's not going easily. has many seats and tables. It's little bit old fashioned resstaurant.

Must visit! We would have never been comfortable enough to have gone into a place like this without our tour guide. It was hidden and the shop owner came out and walked us into the restaurant. When we walked in, there were servers in there that spoke fluent English and all our worries were left at the door. We sat and told our server how many of us there were. She then proceeded to tell us there was no menu for this place, it was a set menu and they will bring out enough food for us. Out comes a platter of fresh seafood that was probably caught hours ago. We didn't even have to cook the food. They brought out fresh charcoal and our server would come by and cook the fish for us. Easily some of the freshest fish I have ever had! You can really taste the charcoal which added so much flavor to the fish. We had easily 10+ different fish to try and each one blew our taste buds away. We left full and satisfied

You get a set of various fish like mackerel, squid and other local fish. Everything was fresh and delicious. A member of stuff comes and grills it for you.

The only menu is the set cost 19000Won per person with min 2 pax. Not worth, beside the side dish is considered met the expectation and the fish is fresh, the rest is not worth at all including the portion as shown below is for 38000 Won and the service is not good, not friendly.

Food was really good... you don't often get to eat bbq fish. All the fish were tender and flavorful. You just sit there and the waitress will come place the fish, grill and cut off the burnt sections for you so you just wait and eat. Their kimchee was perfect, pickled peppers were crunchy and flavorful, and service was super quick. Only thing that's slow is the time you wait for your fish to get cooked. We waited in line on an old alleyway and the store's exterior and interior is not maintained, but either way, atmosphere didn't really bother me because the food was good.

actually im not a big fan of this place since the service was bad for us foreigners. they were not friendly at all to us but overall the food is okay! since we want to eat the fish! they have two places. if i can recommend go to the big one not the small one

Grill fish and squid platter. Only one choice for BBQ grill by staff. Banchan and soup FOC, rice 1,000Krw.

This is Korean fish bbq. There is only one menu, selection of fish. Cost is 17000krw per person. Ladies grill the fish in your table. Food is good and plenty. Some fish had small bones which I hate, but I managed to do better what I expected. Staff is helpful but don't expect any small talk or any talk actually. Korean lady had nice North Korean accent and way of talking. Many staff members are from other countries. After Seoul this place feels like being abroad. There is often huge line front of restaurant. Better to take a spot in line before they open for dinner.

It's was great! With just 14k won per pax, we had a great dinner there! Staff were prompt in grilling the fishes and u love the dish dishes too. It was really value for money!

It is a local fish spot right on the water. They have expanded the space to accommodate the long lines. Friendly, efficient service with the fish cooked right in front of you. Lunch or dinner this is the place to enjoy delicious grilled fish.

I took a local friend with me because he said locals wouldn't go here, but he said it's the best place after finish earing. lol. It looks expensive, but it feels cheap when u look at the so fresh ingredients. I will be there again and again.

A restaurant where you can eat mulhoe(spicy sashimi mixbowl) and seafood bibimbap(mixed rice). The mulhoe doesn't have a lot of sashimi, but it's delicious. For 2 people, since the quantity is large, it is recommended to order mulhoe for 1 person and add another bibimbap.

We walked in past dinner time and it was STILL full of locals sitting around and enjoying gigantic bowls of mukhoe. We got ourselves the following: - seafood and squid mukhoe: comprising a generous portion of abalone, tobiko, sashimi, sea cucumber and various vegetables, this was a very hearty bowl of noodles!! Everything was really fresh and the cold noodles plus tart tomato-ey soup just made everything much more refreshing. Due to us having simpler palates, we enjoyed the squid one more as the seafood one had way too many unknown textures (slightly tough abalone, soft mushy stuff with bones). - uni bibimbap: this was surreal!!! Could’ve done with more uni but even after mixing, we could taste and feel the unctuous uni bits amidst the rice and veggies.

Very famous place where locals and tourists line up all the time. Worth the wait and extremely fast service. They have cute robots working the floor too to help with servicing influx of customers. Wish they had a little more fish in their hwedupbap but it's still good.

Authentic local seafood restaurant in seokcho beach area. Very delicious and great value for money as well. Its service is provided by robots, thus no high service standard should be expected. This restaurant may not be foreigner friendly as ones in Seoul but still would be one of the most foreigner friendly restaurant in the area!

Food were fresh and good portion. I'm not a big fan of seafood, mostly bc they smell but this was not bad at all. It also has a great view and a cafe right next to it for some 'once in a life time' pics ^^

If you like seafood, it's very unique korean food called 'Mulhoe' (spicy seafood cold soup). It can be a bit pricey but has so many different types of seafood including raw fish, abalone and octopus with some veges. Great view, friendly staff, highly recommended!

Served foods by robot! Sea foods are amazing! Too many people at lunch time. Nice location with view!

Great place for enjoy an ear shells (3) and other varieties of shells with some of sea products. You never forget the great taste from the soup in the hot pot. The soup will be salty sometimes. Or you have to remind them not to make to strong or salty. Good for family. But you have to wait to enjoy the food, sometimes more than an hour.

It's a healing place whenever. It's pricey but worth it. If you'd like to enjoy swimming It's the best spot on the summer days.

It was a good experience and a lot of healthy seafood in a bowl. Good food and good service.

Good taste and services. Can enjoy abalone and various shellfishs.

SO F**KING DELICIOUS!

Nice fresh abalone

(Translated by Google) When I first visited after the move, I was disappointed because the taste had changed a bit. I visited again this time and the old taste came back~^^ The price is a bit expensive, but the soup is really refreshing. I ate it when it was 20,000 won, but now it's 22,000 won...ㅜㅜ It seems like there is no choice as prices are rising these days. It's still delicious, so try it even if it's expensive~ It's especially great for hangovers~~ In the past, they kept refilling the salted fish. Now just one episode...ㅜㅜ It's delicious to eat herring roe seaweed with rice~~ The amount is quite large. I feel really full after eating~^^ I enjoyed it because I felt like I had found my old taste again.
