Course Overview
The Samcheok Isabu-gil Winter Coastal Drive uniquely combines snow scenery with ocean views. Starting from Samcheok Beach, the route passes Isabu Lion Park and Millennium Coastal Road to Jangho Port.
Winter East Sea features rough waves for dynamic seascapes, and when snow falls on the coast, white sand meeting blue ocean creates a spectacular scene. Winter crab and mulhoe at Jangho Port add culinary appeal.
