Workation in Sokcho: the essentials
Between the East Sea and the granite peaks of Seoraksan National Park, Sokcho is one of the few places in Korea where a swim and a serious mountain hike fit into the same day. The city belonged to North Korea until the Korean War, and Abai Village, reached by a hand-pulled ferry, was founded by refugees from the North. Daily life centres on the Jungang and Daepo markets and a long sandy beach, with surf spots further south toward Yangyang. Most people arrive by express bus from Seoul, about two and a half hours, and Yangyang International Airport, about 18 km south, has a regular Jeju route. Summer weekends fill with domestic tourists, and winters are cold and windy.
