A 1.74 km coastal boardwalk running from Sokcho Beach to Oeongchi Port. The 850 m beach section is an easy stroll, while the 890 m Oeongchi section splits into a bamboo meditation path, a sky deck, a security-history path and a rock-watching path. Civilians were kept out for decades, so the rocks and water along the shore remain largely untouched. Part of the barbed fence put up after a 1970 infiltration incident has been left standing.
