Fresh Seafood Restaurants and B-grade movies
bpacker Says: Lots of fresh seafood restaurants litter the area of Sokcho-si like polka-dots in a yellow bikini. Like the dots, these shops are numerous and have bad taste. Most of them think nothing about displaying a larger than life spidery looking thing on the roof just to attract...

En route to Seoraksan, my tour bus stopped here for a while. It was worth it; this town has a beautiful Buddhist Temple, and some fine views of the beach.
