Surf lessons beside the breakwater

Address

Gisamun-ri, Hyeonbuk-myeon, Yangyang

A small beach between Hajodae and Janggyo-ri, lined with surf shops that run lessons and rent boards. A breakwater makes the paddle-out easier for beginners. When the swell is big the current gets strong, so newcomers should do what the instructor says. The 38th parallel crosses here, which is why locals also call it 38 Beach.
