A trip to see the beach in one day by taking the subway? Come to Oido Beach in Gyeonggi Province!


There is an area called Oido which is located in the Siheung City, Gyeonggi. The Oido area is connected to Seoul subway line 4, which station is also called Oido Station. What is the interesting things about Oido?


We can see the beach, sunset with a sea background, and taste affordable seafood in Oido, in a short time and just by using the subway from Seoul. A trip to Oido can be done in just one day, even we started the trip from lunch. So if you are bored and want to see the beach, Oido can be an alternative place for relaxing.

5. Haeneom-i Cafe (해넘이 카페)


This place is located just beside the park, but we have to take the rightest way to go there. Relax for a moment with a cold drink and cake while looking up at the bright clouds. In this cafe, there is a 'Stairs to Heaven', one of the photo zones with Oido Beach and sky background. It is also look prettier on sunset time.


Ah ya, you may also take a picnic theme here, actually my friend and I wanted to take a picnic set here, but we cancelled our plan because the sun was too hot at that time.

Note: If you have a time, you may also visit or experience these things

- Take a mobile cart to enjoy the scenary of Oido Coast. The cart is standy by near the Oido Red Lighthouse. We planned to take it after lunch, but unfortunately it was open after sunset. Too dark to enjoy the beach scenary. 

- Have a picnic set on the Haeneom-i Cafe when the weather is nice. We cancelled the plan because of the strong sun.

- Visit the Siheung Oido Museum.
