Jumunjin Beach is located in the northernmost part of Gangneung, and is a great place for summertime family vacations due to the beach's shallow water. The sound of calm waves will chase the heat away, while the dense pine forest provides cool shade against the sun. Visitors can take advantage of the amenities along the beach as well, such as the forest fitness park, family hotels, and the nearby campsite.

Gangneung Boksakkot Village blooms with peach blossoms each spring. The village is criss-crossed by Hacheon and Sillicheon Streams, which can be crossed by log bridges built long ago by the residents. These precious log bridges are sometimes removed for protection during the rainy summer season, and then put back out when the stream level lowers.

Boksakkot Village provides a wonderful glimpse into the rural agricultural lifestyle of Korea. Visitors can pick their own fruit directly from the tree to enjoy right away, as well as make a scarecrow or spread green tea fertilizer around the trees to help them grow. The village is also the venue for an annual peach blossom festival in April, and a scarecrow festival in August.
