Cafe Dunchi is at the Water Sports Center on 295 Ilchul-ro in Yangyang-eup. The parking lot was spacious and easy to use, and the facilities were kept neat. ![Spacious parking lot at Cafe Dunchi in Yangyang](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-cafe-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-cafe-electric-boat-03-1eci0-966.webp) *The spacious parking lot was easy to use.* At the time of the original post, the café was listed as open daily from 10:00 to 21:00, with last orders at 20:30.

On the second floor, you can relax while looking out at the Namdaecheon River. Electric boat and hwangpo dotbae (traditional yellow-sailed boat) experiences are also available at the same place, so it was convenient to combine the café with water leisure. ![Cafe Dunchi water-leisure fee information](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-cafe-electric-boat-2749/dunchi-yangyang-cafe-electric-boat-05-dl9fo-1200.webp) *Please refer to the fee information.* The second floor has full-height windows, giving a clear view of the Namdaecheon River scenery. Drinking something while taking in the open view made it feel like I was truly on a trip. ![Namdaecheon River view through Cafe Dunchi's second-floor windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-cafe-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-cafe-electric-boat-06-5bfj2-966.webp) ![Cafe Dunchi's second floor overlooking Namdaecheon River](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-cafe-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-cafe-electric-boat-07-1jr8x-966.webp) ![Cafe Dunchi space for resting beside Namdaecheon River](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-cafe-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-cafe-electric-boat-08-1sv1d-966.webp) ![Open Namdaecheon River view at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-cafe-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-cafe-electric-boat-09-1kue2-966.webp) There was a wide selection of bakery items, desserts, coffee, and drinks.

I rode the electric boat again on this visit. Each boat could be used for 30 minutes, and a staff member kindly explained how to operate it. The steering was simple, so I got used to it quickly. ![Dunchi electric boat used on Yangyang's Namdaecheon River](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-cafe-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-cafe-electric-boat-14-12nxt-966.webp) I connected Bluetooth, played music I liked, and slowly traveled along the Namdaecheon River. I could set my drink in the cup holder and spend a relaxed time in the breeze. ## How was it for a family trip with a child? During this experience, my child also tried steering in a section without obstacles and really enjoyed it. Spending time together on the river was memorable for our family. The spacious parking and clean interior made the café easy to use, and I was satisfied that I could enjoy both the Namdaecheon River view and the boat experience in one place. I felt it suited a stop during a family trip or time together as a couple. ## Where it is - Cafe Dunchi (카페 둔치) (카페 둔치) - 295 Ilchul-ro, Yangyang-eup, Yangyang-gun, Gangwon State, South Korea - 강원특별자치도 양양군 양양읍 일출로 295 수상레포츠센터 및 카페 둔치 - 38.0953012, 128.6398237 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B9%B4%ED%8E%98%20%EB%91%94%EC%B9%98/@38.0953012,128.6398237,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@coffee-then-home/dunchi-yangyang-cafe-electric-boat-2749/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
