And...
Are there motels near the beach?
How much are they?
Any decent bars in Gangneung?
The beach doesn't have to be amazing but has to be nicer than Anmyeondo which I saw last year. Wasn't impressed at all.
Thanks. |

As far as Korean beaches go, yeah, it's actually quite nice.
Plenty of motels/hotels nearby. Can't help you on the costs though.
The best bar is "Bon Voyage." Not usually very crazy if that's what you're in to, but a great atmosphere, drink selection, and the owner is topnotch. If you want something (potentially) a bit more wild, there's a bar called "Rush." If you want a booking club, then that's "Charisma"...That's quite an experience. |

Thanks for that Patrick.
Gonna take a trip over there in a couple of weeks so.
How about Gangneung city itself. Is that nice? Are those bars you mentioned in Gyeongpodae or Gangneung? |

If you're in to Korean culture at all, there's actually a halfway decent festival in Gangneung starting this weekend and going until the end of June:

The festival is along the stream downtown.
The bars I mentioned are not near the beach, but in downtown Gangneung. Bon Voyage is in Tekgi (sorry for the terrible romanization), which is a nice and trendy area with some good restaurants and cafes. I went to Tekgi about 2 weeks ago for the first time in awhile, and it seemed considerably nicer than before. A few new bars and restaurants that I wanted to check out, but prior obligations prevented me from doing so.
Rush is in the heart of downtown near Home+ and McDonalds. Charisma is over by the train station. They may sound far apart, but civilized Gangneung isn't very big.
A taxi from downtown to Gyeongpo should cost ~6000 won.
If you do take a taxi to Gyeongpo, I recommend telling the driver to take you to "Hyundai Hotel." That's the start of the nicest stretch of beach. |
