Abai Village

Abai Village is a historic fishing village shaped by refugees from Hamgyeong Province during the Korean War. Their distinctive dialect and traditional cuisine, including the famous Abai Sundae, are still part of everyday life here.

One of the village’s most unique experiences is crossing the narrow waterway on a hand-pulled ferry known as the Gaetbae a nostalgic ride loved by visitors of all ages. Rich in cultural heritage and surrounded by natural beauty, Abai Village offers a special opportunity to explore Sokcho’s roots and create lasting memories.
