Jeongdongjin is one of the most fascinating seaside communities in South Korea because of its almost odd combination of landmarks and attractions.

Just a few minutes train ride from the town of Gangneung, Jeongdongjin has the distinction of having the closest train station to a sea in the world! The view of the sea and the shore is in itself worth checking out that train ride. But this coastal 무료웹툰다시보기 village will not cease to surprise you. Here, you will find two old and historically important nautical vessels. The first one is an American warship that served during the Korean War, while the second on is a real North Korean submarine.

Jeongdongjin Beach may not be given much attention by the travel guide blogs' but as you approach this 250-meter sandy stretch, you will soon realize that it is a topnotch destination. It has a supple powdery white sand beach and borders very transparent water. The train track is just separated from the beach sand by a short stretch just footsteps away. There are three main swimming spots here - at the Moraeshigae (Hourglass) Park, at the Jeongdongjin Seawall and in front of the Jeongdongjin Railway Station.

Jeongdongjin beach is even more spectacular during sunrise, with the early morning sun dramatically casting its first light to the horizon, spreading out over the ocean and eventually to the train station and surrounding pine trees. It truly is a romantic and beautiful sight. So make the effort to wake up early and head down to the beach to enjoy one of nature's grandest show.

If you spot more than usual number of Korean couples holding hands doing the same thing, don't be surprised. Jeongdongjin was the chosen setting for the ultra-romantic Korean soap opera entitled Moraeshigae which means "Sandglass". And ever since the beach has become popular to couples, soap opera fanatics and hopeless romantics.
