Overview
Solbaram Bridge, a pedestrian bridge connecting Namhangjin and Anmok, was completed on April 9, 2010, and has a total length of 192 meters. Due to its location between the sea and the river, strong winds are common, which makes it a popular destination, especially during the summer. At night, the bridge is illuminated, creating a beautiful night view that attracts many visitors.
Tourist Guide
Solbaram Bridge is located where the Namdaecheon Stream, which flows through downtown Gangneung, meets the East Sea. Its name is as charming as its shape. The bridge connects Anmok Beach, famous for its coffee culture, and Namhangjin Beach. Standing on the bridge, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the vast ocean horizon stretching out before your eyes and fully experience the refreshing sea breeze.
Travel Tips
At both ends of Solbaram Bridge, breakwaters made of tetrapods have been constructed to prevent erosion caused by waves, and the surrounding areas are often bustling with people enjoying sea fishing. As this area is known for frequent winds, it is advisable to wear wind-resistant clothing when visiting. Toward Anmok Beach, which is connected by Solbaram Bridge, lies Gangneung Port. From the Gangneung Passenger Terminal located here, ferries operate round trips to Jeodong Port on Ulleungdo Island. When viewed from above, Gangneung Port features breakwaters shaped like two crab claws extending toward the sea. Before being renamed Gangneung Port, it was known as Anmok Port. At the ends of the two breakwaters stretching into the sea stand a white lighthouse and a red lighthouse facing each other. At night, the two lighthouses glow warmly as if keeping each other company. The sea breeze experienced on Solbaram Bridge feels incredibly refreshing, as if the scent of pine trees—symbolic of Gangneung—is carried in the wind. Around the bridge, both locals and visitors can be seen strolling and enjoying the cool sea breeze under the warm sunlight. Here, you can experience a unique charm found only in this place.
