Yeongildae Beach
영일대해수욕장
Pohang’s main beach in the city center. The sea pavilion Yeongildae connects to the sand by a pier, and the coffee street and night views along the shore are popular.
Yeongildae Beach was originally called North Beach and stretches about 1.75 kilometers, right next to the city. The sea pavilion Yeongildae, completed in 2013, stands out over the water, and a pier leads out to it, where you can look across to the lights of the steel mill on the opposite shore, especially beautiful at night. Along the seaside promenade is a street of cafés and sashimi restaurants, and steel art sculptures are often set up on the sand. The Pohang International Fireworks Festival in early summer is the busiest time here. It is about 15 minutes by taxi from Pohang Station, and Space Walk is within walking distance.
