I had hibiscus iced tea and an iced latte, then took an electric boat onto Namdaecheon. The boat was easy to operate, though the chilly, overcast weather made the view less satisfying. ## Good to know - **Address**: 강원특별자치도 양양군 양양읍 일출로 295 수상레포츠센터 및 카페 둔치 / 295 Ilchul-ro, Yangyang-eup, Yangyang-gun, Gangwon State, South Korea - **Café hours**: Daily 10:00 AM–9:00 PM; last order 8:30 PM - **Boat hours**: 10:00 AM–6:00 PM - **Access and parking**: About a 5-minute drive from Naksan Beach; spacious parking lot - **Drinks and bakery prices**: Iced Americano ₩5,500; egg tart ₩4,000 each - **Electric boat**: 30 minutes; 1–4 people ₩28,000, 1–6 people ₩35,000 - **Hwangpo sailboat**: 20 minutes; 8–12 people; children ₩6,000, teens ₩8,000, adults ₩10,000 - **Boat amenities**: Life jackets required; electric boats can connect to a phone via Bluetooth; blankets available separately *as written by the visitor on May 28, 2026* I found Cafe Dunchi (카페 둔치) while driving near Naksan Beach, where I had drinks and took an electric boat. What stayed with me was being able to relax while looking at Namdaecheon, then head out onto the river myself. ![Visiting Cafe Dunchi by Namdaecheon in Yangyang](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-6f92/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-01-21ez7-1200.webp) ## How far is it from Naksan Beach, and is parking easy? Dunchi is by Namdaecheon in Yangyang, about a five-minute drive from Naksan Beach. The address is Yangyang Water Sports Center, 295 Ilchul-ro, Yangyang-eup, Yangyang-gun, Gangwon State, South Korea. ![Cafe Dunchi exterior near Naksan Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-02-1rdnz-900.webp) When I arrived, the open riverside and exterior that blended naturally into the surroundings caught my eye. The area was quiet, too, so it felt like a good place to linger. ![Relaxed riverside scenery around Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-03-15545-900.webp) The parking lot was spacious, so parking was easy. I heard that an ecological-park playground has also opened near the café. ![Cafe Dunchi parking lot and nearby outdoor area](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-04-1utqj-900.webp) At the time of the original post, the café was listed as open daily from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, with last orders at 8:30 PM. Boat hours differed from the café, running from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. ## What are the indoor and outdoor spaces like? Inside, the décor was mostly in warm wood tones. It matched the natural surroundings well and felt comfortable. ![Wood-toned interior at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-05-cot2m-900.webp) ![Dunchi interior space blending with nature](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-06-f1hah-900.webp) The window seats filled with sunlight were nice for taking photos. ![Sunlit window seat at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-07-xkgev-900.webp) I especially liked the outdoor area. Having coffee in the breeze felt like slowing down for a while. I also thought it could work nicely for a date spent talking while taking in the view. ![Dunchi outdoor area with riverside breeze](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-08-18v4d-900.webp) ## How much are the drinks and desserts? An iced Americano was ₩5,500. In addition to coffee, there were juices, teas, and smoothies. ![Menu board showing drink choices at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-09-f2n12-900.webp) The signature bakery item, an egg tart, was ₩4,000 each. They said it is baked fresh every morning and sold only that day. ![Cafe Dunchi bakery menu display](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-10-94z9w-900.webp) We ordered a hibiscus iced tea and an iced latte, which looked like newer menu items. ![Menu viewed before ordering at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-11-ri32f-900.webp) ## How were the hibiscus iced tea and iced latte? The hibiscus iced tea was tangy with a subtle floral aroma. It was not overly sweet and had a clean finish, so I kept reaching for it. ![Iced tea and iced latte ordered at Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-12-1qj0g-900.webp) The iced latte had a fairly rich, nutty flavor. The milk and coffee were well balanced, making it easy to drink. It was relaxing to look out at the scenery while having our drinks. ## What are the prices and ride times for electric boats and hwangpo sailboats? There were electric boats for up to four people and up to six people. The ride time was 30 minutes. ![Electric boat information at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-13-1ggb9-900.webp) ![Dunchi electric boat boarding and use information](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-14-1a1y4-900.webp) Electric boat prices were ₩28,000 for one to four people and ₩35,000 for one to six people. The round boat was the six-person option. ![Water activity information at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-15-1a1wa-900.webp) The hwangpo sailboat required at least eight people and could take up to 12. The ride lasted 20 minutes, with listed prices of ₩6,000 for children, ₩8,000 for teens, and ₩10,000 for adults. ![Preparing to board a Cafe Dunchi boat](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-16-6dwf8-900.webp) ## What was operating and riding the electric boat actually like? Both adults and children put on life jackets and boarded in order. I worried that operating it might be difficult at first, but it was simpler than I expected and I got used to it quickly. You could also connect a phone via Bluetooth and enjoy music during the ride. ![Electric boat ride on Namdaecheon in Yangyang](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-17-117a6-900.webp) I liked moving slowly across the calm water. ![Namdaecheon scenery while moving slowly by electric boat](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-18-1ii48-900.webp) It was more about taking in the scenery at an easy pace than enjoying speed. I liked that, and it was also good for travel photos. ![Riverside view during the electric boat ride](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-19-12b96-900.webp) ## What was disappointing about the day I visited? It was a little cold and overcast on the day I visited, so the view itself was disappointing. I thought the atmosphere would be even better on a clear day or around sunset. ![Namdaecheon from an electric boat on an overcast day](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-20-1i6cv-900.webp) Blankets were available separately. ![Dunchi boat experience in chilly weather](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-21-pd8ms-900.webp) ## How is it for a family outing or date? There were many families visiting with children. Seeing them enjoy the boats, I felt it would suit a family outing as well. ![Families enjoying water activities at Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-22-xz4i0-900.webp) During a Yangyang trip mostly focused on the sea, spending time by the river felt different. Being able to rest at a café and take an electric boat made it memorable. ![Dunchi riverside experience during a Yangyang trip](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-23-11udx-900.webp) It suited a day when I wanted a drink and a light activity near Naksan Beach. The scenery was disappointing because of the weather, but I was satisfied with having tea and moving slowly across the river. ![Drinks and boat experience at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-24-75gik-900.webp) ## 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/@fork-and-teaspoon/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-6f92/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
