Find Sandglass on KDrama Tracker

A small station whose platform is separated from the beach by a single hedge, and the town around it — famous nationally since the 1995 drama Sandglass was filmed here.

Why it’s worth it

The lone pine on the beach is the shot from Sandglass, and it is still there. New Year sunrise trains from Seoul sell out months in advance.
