A local guide for planning cafe stops and meals during a Gangneung trip.
The city coffee built
Anmok Beach's coffee street began with vending machines and is now a line of roastery cafes. Drinking coffee while looking at the sea has become the default reason people come to Gangneung.
Cafes are not limited to Anmok — they are scattered along Gyeongpo, Gangmun, and up toward Sacheon as well. Each beach has a different feel, so drifting between them beats committing to one.
What to eat
Chodang sundubu is the local signature. Chodang-dong has a whole village of tofu restaurants clustered together, several serving variations like jjamppong sundubu alongside the classic version.
For seafood, Jumunjin Port is the center. You can choose live fish at the market beside the harbor, and what is available shifts by season — squid and snow crab among them.
Getting around
Gangneung is a little over two hours from Seoul by KTX, which makes a day trip feasible. Budget another fifteen to twenty minutes by bus or taxi from the station to the beaches.
Moving between beaches is much easier by car. Gyeongpo to Jumunjin is about twenty minutes driving; by public transport, infrequent services stretch that out considerably.
