Sokcho Beach is located in the entrance of Abaimaeul (Abai Village) and the Express Bus Terminal. The nearby Jo-do (Bird-Island) earned the name for its cpious birds.
The dual scenery of the island and the beach add splendor to the place, which was called "Nonsan joyang" in Soya 8(pal) Gyeong (The Eight Sceneries of Soya) for its beautiful sunrise.
Nowadays, many events and festivals are held on the beach.
