Anmok Beach Coffee Street
📍 견소동, Gangneung
This is the stretch where specialty coffee shops line the road facing Anmok Beach and Gangneung Port. From roasteries that roast and brew their own beans to large franchises, there's a mix of options, and picking a window seat with a sea view is the main reason people come here.
Many cafes have ordering counters on the first floor and upstairs seats with floor-to-ceiling windows, while plenty of people get takeout and drink it on benches by the sand. Most places serve bread or desserts with coffee, so they work well for breakfast too; at the end of the beach, the walk continues to Gangneung Port Passenger Terminal and the yacht marina.

Useful tips
- Parking gets scarce around midday on weekends, so go early in the morning or use the bus.
- If you want a window or upstairs seat, it's best to avoid the post-lunch rush.
- Taking your drink to go and having it on a beach bench lets you avoid competing for a seat.
- Cafes with roastery signs often sell beans by the bag, which makes them good souvenirs.
- It's connected by the coastal road to Gangmun Beach and Gyeongpo Beach, making them easy to bundle into one route.
Frequently asked questions
There are so many cafes. How should I choose one?
You're less likely to be disappointed if you choose a cafe with upstairs seats facing the sea. Places that use beans roasted in-house often mark themselves as a roastery on the sign or near the entrance.
