Where the East Sea Meets Golden Cosmos: Gangneung’s Best Autumn View

#hellohalloween
Forget the summer crowds; the true magic of the Sageunjin Marine Park Observatory unveils itself in the autumn. The view from this free observatory is spectacular year-round, but it reaches its peak beauty when the deep blue of the East Sea is juxtaposed against the breathtaking yellow fields nearby.
What makes this spot so special in fall is the abundance of yellow cosmos flowers that bloom right next to the park and Saguenjin Beach. The vibrant yellow waves of the flowers sway gently in the cool autumn breeze, providing a striking, almost painterly contrast to the intense turquoise and sapphire tones of the ocean. This creates a spectacular color palette that's perfect for photography.
From the observation deck, you get a bird's-eye view of this amazing scene, looking down over the golden cosmos fields and the famous pastel-colored rainbow breakwater—the perfect trinity of blue, yellow, and pastel pink/blue.
If you are looking for a tranquil, aesthetically rich travel experience in Gangneung outside of the peak summer, plan your visit for October when the yellow cosmos are typically at their best. It’s a quiet, scenic spot that offers one of the most romantic views of the season.
