Gangneung deserves more than a beach stop
Coffee at Anmok, tofu in Chodang and a gift near the station: build a Gangneung trip around a beach, a meal and perhaps another night.

Before you book the train home, choose something you want to eat in Gangneung. Anmok pairs a beach with coffee; Chodang gives tofu the centre of the table. Leave room for both a sea view and a meal, and a quick coastal escape begins to feel like a trip of its own.
What to eat here
Try Chodang tofu for lunch and Anmok coffee in the afternoon. Choose between a mild soft-tofu meal and spicy jjamppong sundubu before picking a restaurant. For a gift on the way home, consider EARL’s ganache sandwiches near Gangneung Station.
Plan separate journeys between neighbourhoods
Do not treat Gangneung Station, Anmok Beach and Chodang Tofu Village as one walking route. Check bus or taxi connections. For a day trip, start with one beach and one meal.
