About
A sunset cafe above Eurwangni Beach — the name literally means 'sunset viewing platform'.
Nakjodae means the place you stand to watch the sun go down, and naming a cafe that is a promise it has to keep. This stretch of Yongyu Island faces due west into the Yellow Sea with nothing between it and the horizon, which is why the whole Eurwangni coast fills up in the last hour of daylight and empties again forty minutes later. Come for that hour. The rest of the day it is a perfectly ordinary large seaside cafe with good glass, and the beach is directly below if you want to walk it off. Check what time the sun actually sets before you plan around it — in Korea that swings by nearly three hours across the year.

Local tips
- Arrive 40 minutes before sunset — the window seats go first and the room turns over fast afterwards.
- Sunset here shifts from about 5:15pm in midwinter to past 7:45pm in midsummer; check the date before committing.
- The beach is directly below, so pair the coffee with a walk rather than sitting the whole time.
- Weekends in summer are genuinely packed; a weekday visit is a different, much calmer place.
Details
