Sokcho Beach (Korean: 속초해수욕장) is a public beach in Sokcho, South Korea. It first opened in 1976.[1] Its length is 940m and its width is 43m.[2]
The beach is host to various events.[3] For example, the beach has held a summer festival with live music, as well as a beach art installation.[4] Like many other beaches in South Korea, the beach is shrinking due to coastal erosion.[5]
