Gisamun Beach

Hyeonbuk-myeon, Yangyang, Gangwon, South Korea38.004° 128.733°
Levels 2-4

A small, quiet fishing-village beach between Yangyang's two main surf hubs. Less developed than Jukdo/Ingu/Surfyy, with fewer schools, so treat it as a quieter overflow spot on the same swell window rather than a standalone destination.
