Songdo Beach (송도해수욕장)

Part of our trip took us to Pohong.  The city is on the eastern side of South Korea, located on the coast.  It is home to POSCO, one of the world's largest steel companies, which sits prominently on the bay.  The beach we visited, Songdo, was next door to POSCO.  We hoped to take a tour, but foreigners require a week advance reservation.

Songdo beach is a great little beach, which is apparently extremely popular in the summer.  It was a ghost town the day we visited.  It has a wide boulevard running behind the sea wall.  There are many restaurants lining the street.  They were almost all closed for the season.
