Overview
Anmok Beach Coffee Street is a seaside strip symbolizing Gangneung, the city of coffee, lined with dozens of stylish cafes and roasteries facing the sea. What began as vending-machine coffee culture has grown into a street of distinctive specialty cafes, and sipping coffee to the sound of the waves is its great appeal. The street and beach are free and always open, with cafe hours (generally 10:00-22:00) varying. Adjacent to Gangneung Port, it's easy to pair raw fish with coffee.
Travel Tips
Window seats at ocean-view cafes are hotly contested around sunset. Each roastery has its own bean character - pick to taste.
