6 Best Things to Do After Dinner in Goseong

A sunset stroll on Goseong’s gorgeous beaches is an ideal post-dinner plan. About 9 km from Goseong town, you can find Songjiho Beach. This long white sandy beach stretches for 2 km and is fringed with beautiful scenery. Compared to other beaches in the vicinity, Songjiho is usually less crowded, allowing you to enjoy a blissful stroll.

Another lovely beach is Ayajin Beach, located 7 km further south down the coast. Get ready to snap some fun photos as this sandy beach is lit up with purple light at night.

Cheongganjeong Pavilion towers above the sea and the Cheonggancheon stream that flows down from Seoraksan Mountain. While it's a popular sunrise spot, the pavilion is also worth visiting after dinner.

The soothing sounds of the waves crashing on the beach below provide a wonderful backdrop to enjoy the sparkling lights of the hotels and restaurants that line the coast. Here, the night scene is particularly romantic when there's mist out on the water. There's no surprise that the pavilion is popular with poets looking for inspiration.

Geojin Harbour is located in the fishing village of Geojin, about 7 km north of Goseong town. Every day local fishermen head out to sea on their day boats, bringing back containers full of fresh seafood. As a working harbour, you can enjoy a delicious plate of just-caught sashimi at one of the restaurants lining the harbour promenade.

After dinner, stroll the walkway to the observatory deck at the Geojin Lighthouse to enjoy scenic night views of the sea, the village lights, and the hilly forest surrounding the town.

Cap off your delicious Korean meal with a cup of coffee and sea views at any of Goseong’s cool beachside cafés. Most cafés in Goseong close around 6 pm. However, GoGo Beach Surf Shop is a great spot that closes at 9 pm. Another go-to place is Panorama Cafe and Pub which closes at 10 pm.

GoGo Beach Surf Shop is located in the village of Munamjil and offers lovely views of the beach from its first-floor café. You can find Panorama Cafe and Pub 2 km south of GoGo Beach Surf Shop. The rooftop eatery offers impressive 360-degree views from the sea to the Seoraksan mountain range in the distance.

A popular post-dinner activity throughout South Korea is heading to a karaoke bar, locally known as noraebang. You can find a couple of laidback karaoke bars a few streets back in Geojin Harbour and Daejin Harbour, and the tiny village of Sinan.

Once you’ve chosen a cosy spot, order some drinks and snacks, and get ready to belt out your favourite songs for a couple of hours. There is usually a wide selection of English, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese songs to choose from.
