Choose your onward trip before leaving the station
In a 2026 guide, the Korea Tourism Organization listed city buses 300-1, 223-1, 225-1 and 314-1 as possible options between Gangneung Station and Anmok Beach. The city lists route variations, so confirm that the specific service stops at the station and beach. Its 2026 East Coast guide gives an approximate 15-minute ride by bus or taxi, but you should budget separately for waiting, traffic and the walk to your café. Check the current stop and route direction before boarding.
Beach destination: Anmokhaebyeon Beach
Korean address: 강원특별자치도 강릉시 창해로14번길 20-1

Step by step
- Save 강릉역 (Gangneung Station) and 안목해변 (Anmok Beach) or your exact café address. The beach is an area; individual cafés are not all at one entrance.
- Check the station departure stop and the live bus direction. Compare the actual expected wait with your return train time.
- Ask 이 버스가 안목해변에 가나요? — Does this bus go to Anmok Beach? Confirm the name of the stop to use.
- After arrival, save the position of the station-bound stop and check the return time. If the return bus does not suit your train, ask the café or accommodation to help arrange an appropriate taxi.
KTO’s Anmok destination page identifies the beach and coffee street. Café opening, last orders and seating availability vary by business; check the one you intend to visit rather than assuming every venue is open.
Make the trip work outside summer
A beachfront coffee stop can be pleasant even when you do not intend to swim, but sea conditions and the weather matter. The 2026 KTO summer guide lists swimming dates for that year only; do not assume those dates apply next season. Check local notices and current weather and follow on-site restrictions. If wind or rain makes the beach uncomfortable, allow a shorter visit or choose an indoor stop with confirmed hours.
