Samcheok itineraries

Jukseoru to Jangho in a day

A pavilion over the Osipcheon cliffs in the morning, gomchi soup at Samcheok Port for lunch, then south down the coast to the water at Jangho and the Haesindang hill. One car, one day, top to bottom of Samcheok.

A cave day and a sea day

Day one is the cool of Hwanseongul cave in the hills and a hotel in town; day two is all sea, from the dawn market to Chotdae Rock and Maengbang Beach. One night that shows Samcheok is both mountain and coast.

Town, caves and Jangho in three days

Arrive by bus, walk the town and Obun bay on day one, cross the hills via Daegeumgul and the Miin Falls to sleep at Jangho on day two, then close out the south coast with the rail bike and sashimi at Imwon on day three. Samcheok end to end.
