Hapyeong Beach in Donghae: Perfect for swimming with its shallow waters!

And right in front of Hapyeong Beach is the Hapyeong Railway Crossing!

On weekends, you'll find over ten people lined up to take photos.

This spot has suddenly become a must-visit in Donghae.

(Please note that taking photos on the tracks is illegal.)

Hapyeong Beach & Hapyeong Railway Crossing

Quick Info:

Hapyeong Beach and the Hapyeong Railway Crossing are closer to Mukho Station than Donghae Station!

It's within walking distance from Mukho Station, but (beware of the uphill road, take a taxi!).

Walking from Donghae Station might be a bit challenging.

We recommend using a car or public transportation.

Donghae's Hapyeong Beach!

Where the KTX train tracks meet the sea.

But please be careful and avoid going onto the tracks!

Installing tripods on the tracks is dangerous, and if a train comes, you might not be able to escape in time and risk getting hurt!

Taking photos on the tracks requires prior approval!

The fines are steep!

Location:

40-1 Pyeongneung-dong, Donghae-si, Gangwon-do

If you search for Hapyeong Beach, you'll find parking available along the roadside.

But because it's become so popular lately, if there are no spots available!!!

Then we recommend parking across the street at Hapyeong Park.

Usage Information:

Road to the coastal forest!

And if you go straight to the right, you'll reach Hanseom Beach.

Hanseom Beach is prettier and has more to see, in my opinion.

Haparang Trail Course 33

Mangsang Beach - Mukho Station - Hapyeong Beach

- Hanseom Beach - Donghae Station - Chooam Beach

Chooam Beach is a famous spot that appears in the first scene of the national anthem.

There's a foot-washing station (세족장) on the way down to Hapyeong Beach!!!

The East Sea is usually deep even after only a few steps into the water!

But Hapyeong Beach is shallow even if you go in quite far.

Even on weekdays, people are enjoying snorkeling.

There are public restrooms for your convenience!

Here is the Hapyeong Beach Haparang Trail!

A rest area right in front of the sea!

While walking along the side, I saw a couple enjoying the vast sea all to themselves.

There are places to rest and life jackets available for free!

This is the Hapyeong Railway Crossing!!

The photos will be beautiful, but be careful.

Taking photos on the tracks is illegal!

Entering the tracks themselves is illegal!!

Don't be too greedy and stay safe.

Enjoy your visit!

Dreamlike moment Precious memory Joyful moment Mysterious look

Real Korea, Curated for Global Travelers

WassupKorea is a next-generation platform designed for foreigners who want to truly experience Korea — not just as tourists, but as locals. While countless Koreans have shared their daily lives, food experiences, and cultural tips through blogs, videos, and social media, much of this valuable content remains locked behind language barriers. WassupKorea solves this by collecting and curating high-quality local content and making it accessible to global audiences through real-time AI-powered translation. Instead of superficial recommendations, users gain access to authentic, first-hand stories — from hidden street food spots to weekend mountain hikes — written by Koreans for Koreans, now reinterpreted for the world.

AI-Powered Personalization, Translation, and Voice Interaction

What sets WassupKorea apart is its deep integration of artificial intelligence at the core of the platform. AI matches users with personalized content based on their language, nationality, and travel interests. Whether you're looking for vegan Korean food in Jeonju or part-time job tips in Seoul, the platform's smart engine brings the most relevant, timely posts to the forefront. Every piece of content — blog summaries, local guides, user comments — is instantly translated using advanced AI translators. Users can also listen to posts via natural-sounding voice AI in their own language. Real-time voice translation in community chats allows for live conversations between users from different countries. With voice synthesis, AI can even "learn" your voice preferences to create a more natural and immersive experience.

A Living Community Driven by Local Content and Global Connection

WassupKorea is more than just an information portal — it’s an AI-driven community hub that grows smarter as users interact. Travelers and residents alike can share their own content via links from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, or directly post on the platform. AI categorizes the content, suggests similar posts, and connects users with shared interests. Foreigners living in Korea can also access essential resources like visa tips, rental guides, job listings, and lifestyle hacks. As more content is generated and more interactions occur, the AI refines its recommendations — creating a dynamic feedback loop that benefits every user. WassupKorea bridges the gap between Korea’s deep local knowledge and the global audience eager to explore it, forming a smart, multilingual, and inclusive platform for everyone curious about life in Korea.
