Tucked away on the eastern coast of Korea, Sageunjin Beach is a lesser-known gem of Gangneung, offering serene oceanic views without the typical throngs of beachgoers. Picture pristine white sands meeting crystal-clear waters, complemented by a backdrop of verdant hills, creating an almost ethereal harmony of nature. The quiet lapping of waves, the gentle rustle of leaves, and the melodic calls of coastal birds promise a tranquil respite from the hustle of city life.
