Most of these places are cafes during the day and pubs at night, with DJ parties. So if you’re planning a fun summer vacation, check them out.
Yangyang Hotspot Recommendations
- Cafe Dudongsil
Location : 29, Changri-gil, Hyeonnam-myeon, Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do
✔ Hours : Daily 11:00 – 21:00
Dudongsil is a pool cafe in Yangyang that operates as a cafe until late afternoon. It transforms into a bar at night.
Located in front of Jukdo Beach, it is easily accessible and has its own parking lot. This makes it easy to visit by car. The outdoor space is reminiscent of a small Bali in Yangyang. Of course, there is also an indoor space, which is great for cooling off in the hot summer. The space is made of materials directly imported from Indonesia.
If you only want to drink, you can only use the indoor seating. However, they don’t restrict you from taking photos inside the cafe. So if you can’t afford the pool fee or facility rental fee, we recommend ordering a drink at the cafe and enjoying the space.
2. Yangyang Temple on the Beach
Location : 19, Changri-gil, Hyeonnam-myeon, Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do
✔ Hours : Check in 16:00 / Check out 11:00
Newly opened in 2023, Yangyang Hot Temple Temple on the Beach is located about a 10-minute walk from Inuseong Beach. It offers glamping accommodations, so you can enjoy a barbecue or pool party in the evening and stay overnight.
Temple on the Beach also has bungalows and plenty of outdoor seating, including umbrellas, tables, and daybeds. During peak season, on Saturdays in July and August, they host exciting pool parties with DJ music. They always have pool parties starting at 9:30 pm every day except Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Pool access starts at 1pm, and we sell separate night and day passes. Beer, cocktails, and other alcoholic beverages are also available.
3. Surfy Beach Sunset Bar
Location : 119, Hajodaehaean-gil, Hyeonbuk-myeon, Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do
✔ Hours : Daily 09:00 – 02:00
This is Yangyang’s representative hotspot, Surf Beach Sunset Bar, which is a cafe by day and a pub by night. They can enjoy a relaxing time at an outdoor table overlooking the sea. Minors are not allowed to enter after 7 p.m. on weekends.
On weekends during peak season, the cafe hosts parties, events, and other activities for adults. During the morning hours, they also offer a variety of one-day classes such as surfing and surf yoga. The private beach in front of the cafe, Surfy Beach, is dog-friendly, so it’s a great place to visit with your furry friends.
Even if you’re not using the cafe, the private beach is always open. You can stroll along the beach and soak up the atmosphere. In the evening, tables may not be available, so it’s best to arrive early and order from the menu.
4. Surfworld X ScheduleYangyang
Location : 56-3, Inju-gil, Hyeonnam-myeon, Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do
✔ Hours : Thu-Mon 16:00 – 02:00 (Closed Tue, Wed)
Yangyang is another typical hotspot in Yangyang where you can enjoy a variety of food, desserts, alcoholic beverages, and pool water guns in one place. You can order food and drink at tables above the pool and have a little splashing around while you eat and drink.
The pool has large tubes with dolphins, flamingos, and more, making it a great place to take social media photos. During the day, the restaurant is a brunch cafe with a resort-like atmosphere. In the evening, the lights get turned up and the music gets louder.
It’s not uncommon to see people visiting in their swimsuits or with water guns ready to splash around in the evening with upbeat songs. Tables above the pool are available after 8 pm, but you must order at least one bottle of alcohol or pay a table fee.
5. Tan Beach Club and Resort
Location : 77, Hajodaehaean-gil, Hyeonbuk-myeon, Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do
✔ Hours : Mon-Fri 12:00-22:00 / Sat-Sun 12:00-24:00
This is an oasis pool at Tan Beach Club & Resort, which is easily accessible with a round-trip limousine service from Apgujeong to Yangyang Tan Beach.
It is operated as a ‘beach club’ located in front of the beach and you need to pay an entrance fee to use the pool. Of course, you can also just buy a pool ticket and use the pool. However, the pool at Tan Beach is only accessible if you’re wearing a “swimsuit” and not a rash guard.
There are a variety of seating options, including beachbeds, tables, and cabanas, with prices varying depending on the location, date, and time of day. If you reserve a seat, you’ll receive a glass of sparkling wine or champagne and a set menu appetizer platter.
While you’re splashing around, music from the DJ booth will be spinning. This creates a relaxed, vacation-like atmosphere. There are large tubes at the top of the pool for everyone to use, and a smaller pool at the back for a quieter dip.
6. Sol Guesthouse X Yanglidangil Lounge
✔ Yangli Dangil Lounge: 65-11, Inju-ri, Hyeonnam-myeon, Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do
The party scenes of Sol Guesthouse, posted on social media, attract many young people. It is also the starting point of Yangyang becoming a hotspot.
There are two ways to stay at Sol Guesthouse: using a dormitory as a guest house or staying at a hotel using a package with a partner hotel.
During the day, you can enjoy Yangyang’s populated beaches with surfing lessons or free surfing. In the evening, there is a ‘barbecue’ at the Yangli Dangil Lounge.
Even if you don’t have an overnight stay or package, you can still join the ‘barbecue party’ at the Yangli Dangil Lounge from 19:30 pm. You can enjoy unlimited barbecue and soju for two hours. After the party ends at 21:00, you can enter the lounge for the price of admission.
7. surfcliff
Location : 28-21, Inseong-gil, Hyeonnam-myeon, Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do
✔ Hours : Daily 11:00 – 02:00 (11:00 – Surfing / 19:00 – Performance / 23:00 – DJ)
Surfcliff is a hotspot on Inseong Beach called Yangridang-gil. From 11am to 6pm, they offer surfing lessons. From 7pm to 11pm, there are live performances by full bands.
The 4-hour Funky Tonight show is said to be worth the price of admission, with some reviewers calling it the “best show of their lives.” Alcoholic beverages must be ordered separately, but purchasing alcohol is “mandatory,” so if you don’t want to drink, this is not the place to go.
During the peak summer season, the terrace is wide open, adding to the colorfulness of Yangli Dangil. From 11 pm to closing time, there is a DJ party. Although the restaurant restricts dancing behavior, the party atmosphere on summer nights lasts all night. There are people who can’t resist dancing on the street.
8. flizweights
Location : 28-23, Inup-gil, Hyeonnam-myeon, Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do
✔ Hours : 11:00 -24:00 daily
Like many of Yangyang’s hotspots, this is a cafe by day and a pub by night. Its colorful exterior makes it stand out among the many shops on Population Beach. The café is dotted with vividly colored photo booths that attract passersby, day and night.
At night, Yangyang Beach can be a bit overwhelming, with DJs spinning at various locations. So if you’re looking for a relatively quiet place to have a cocktail with your group, we recommend finding a nighttime spot.
The outdoor terrace on the ground floor is dog-friendly, making it a great place to visit with your furry friends. The drinks and food on offer are also highly rated, and you can order drinks using WaiVisa’s free drink program.
