7 best beach hotels in Yangyang

Beach hotels in Yangyang suit travellers who want ocean views, easy access to sand and sea, and accommodation designed for unhurried beach days. Yangyang’s coastal stretch is best known for classic seaside landmarks such as Naksan Beach, a well-loved shoreline in Yangyang-eup, Joseon-ri, backed by pine trees. For culture-minded stays, the coast also pairs well with Naksansa (낙산사), a seaside temple experience that makes a scenic day trip from the beach areas.

Look for hotels that truly fit the “beach” brief: they should be within comfortable reach of the shoreline (ideally walkable or a short drive), offer practical amenities for sea weather (warming rooms, drying space, breakfast timings that support beach mornings), and provide the kind of atmosphere that makes returning from the water feel effortless. These stays work especially well for couples, families, and surf-leaning weekenders who want to reduce commuting and maximise time outdoors—exactly the rhythm you get at options like Naksan Beach (4★) and Scenery after Rain (4★).

Where to stay depends on your holiday pace: Naksan Beach / seaside Yangyang-eup is a strong base for classic beach access, while coastal pockets closer to the attractions and viewpoints suit guests who like combining a beach morning with a walk, cafe stop, and an evening by the sea. Inventory highlights include Yangyang Alps Beach (2★) for value-focused stays and Zio Resort (2★) for a straightforward coastal break.
