After watching the sunrise in Jeongdongjin and finishing a warm meal nearby, many travelers look for a place to slow down and sit by the sea.
Gangneung and Jeongdongjin are known for cafés that feel especially calm in winter, where the ocean view becomes part of the experience.

Rather than chasing trendy names, this list focuses on cafés that work well for winter travel, coastal views, and easy access.
