Jeongdongjin: Korea's East Coast Gem ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท๐ŸŒŠ

#summervacay Jeongdongjin truly lives up to its reputation as an incredibly beautiful spot, especially when the weather is clear and the sea glistens! Your untouched photos must be absolutely stunning. It's the kind of place you can visit three times and still not tire of. Here's why Jeongdongjin is so captivating: Unbeatable Beauty & Easy Access Breathtaking Scenery: You mentioned the sea looks especially gorgeous when the weather is good, and it's clear you're captivated by its beauty. It's often called one of Korea's most picturesque coastal areas. Direct Beach Access: Getting there is super convenient! From Cheongnyangni Station (Seoul), a KTX train gets you to Jeongdongjin in less than two hours. Even better, you step right onto the beach upon arrival (Figure 1). You can even get great photos just hanging around the station! Things to Note & Extend Your Trip Public Transport: The main downside is that local public transportation isn't very developed, and sometimes it can be tough to find a taxi. Plan your movements accordingly, perhaps by walking or arranging transport in advance if you have specific destinations. Combine with Gangneung: If you have more time, consider taking the KTX just 15 minutes further to Gangneung. This allows you to easily explore two vibrant coastal cities in one day, which is perfectly doable! Gangneung offers more urban amenities, cafes, and beaches. Crucial Tip for Return: Always buy your return train ticket in advance! As you wisely pointed out, tickets can sell out, and you might find yourself unable to get back. Jeongdongjin offers that perfect blend of easy access to stunning natural beauty and a tranquil escape from city life. It's clear why it holds such a special place in your heart! #jeongdongjin #southkorea #koreatravel #eastcoast #seaview #coastalescape #gangneung #koreasolotravel #beachlife #traveltips #discoverkorea
