Scope

This guide is the Jumunjin (Gangneung) Goblin stop only. For Seoul pins (Unhyeongung Yanggwan, Gamgodang-gil, Yongdap bridge), use the separate Goblin in Seoul guide.

Places we couldn’t verify

  • Exact bus number from Gangneung Station to the breakwater — not stated on the gated VisitKorea or Gangneung City English pages used here; last-mile unverified.
  • Which exact meter of east vs west breakwater matches a given shot — VisitKorea notes east (~1 km) and west (~200 m) sections without a shot-by-shot pin.

Lodging (neighborhoods)

  • Jumunjin — Closest for early/late breakwater walks.
  • Gangneung city — Convenient KTX base if combining coffee street or other Gangneung stops.
