I took mango smoothie and homemade pineapple-vinegar drinks onto both four- and six-person electric boats; the six-person boat felt steadier, while the four-person boat was more thrilling when turning. The café was spacious with ample parking, but the restroom was an outdoor public facility by the parking lot. ## Good to know - **Address**: 295 Ilchul-ro, Yangyang-eup, Yangyang-gun, Gangwon State, South Korea — 강원특별자치도 양양군 양양읍 일출로 295 수상레포츠센터 및 카페 둔치 - **Café hours**: 10:00–21:00, according to the original post - **Boat hours**: 10:00–18:00, according to the original post - **Parking**: Spacious parking lot in front of the café - **Restroom**: Outdoor public restroom by the parking lot; none inside the café - **Layout**: Water leisure area on the first floor; café on the second floor - **Water activities**: Electric boats and hwangpo dotbae (traditional yellow-sailed boats) - **Drinks ordered**: Mango smoothie; homemade pineapple vinegar (hibiscus & rose) *as written by the visitor on Aug 21, 2026* During a summer vacation in Gangwon, I stopped by Cafe Dunchi (카페 둔치) on Namdaecheon in Yangyang. Taking takeaway drinks onto an electric boat, with the river breeze blowing, felt like sitting at a café all to ourselves. ![Electric boat experience at Cafe Dunchi on Yangyang’s Namdaecheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-6c4e/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-01-1minj-1200.webp) ## Where is Cafe Dunchi, and what are the parking and restroom like? Cafe Dunchi is a waterfront café on Namdaecheon at 295 Ilchul-ro in Yangyang-eup. There was a spacious parking lot in front of the café. However, there is no restroom inside, so you need to use the outdoor public restroom by the parking lot. ![Surroundings of Cafe Dunchi waterfront café on Namdaecheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-02-1dylj-900.webp) ![Path leading to Cafe Dunchi on Namdaecheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-03-1wjql-825.webp) ![Entrance area of Cafe Dunchi waterfront café](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-04-5ud5r-870.webp) After crossing the bridge to enter, the first floor was for water leisure activities and the second floor was the café. The original post listed café hours as 10:00–21:00 and boat hours as 10:00–18:00. ## What are the café seating and Namdaecheon views like? From the café, I could see the sea, mountains, and Namdaecheon all at once. With scenery in every direction, it was also a nice place to sit and rest before or after taking the boat. ![Namdaecheon view from Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-05-1th6b-900.webp) ![Cafe Dunchi space overlooking the surrounding scenery](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-06-hd36x-900.webp) ![Cafe Dunchi waterfront café enjoying Namdaecheon views](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-07-sr0ge-900.webp) ![Cafe Dunchi with views of Namdaecheon and surroundings](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-08-17i2h-900.webp) The café was spacious and had plenty of seats. It had a relaxed atmosphere for spending time while looking out over Namdaecheon. ![Spacious interior and seating at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-09-bvhmt-900.webp) ![Interior of Cafe Dunchi waterfront café on Namdaecheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-10-s38p5-900.webp) ![Relaxed café space at Cafe Dunchi in Yangyang](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-11-1n1q1-900.webp) ![Cafe Dunchi space for drinks and relaxation](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-12-x3dg7-900.webp) ![Inside Cafe Dunchi on Yangyang’s Namdaecheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-13-1kjzc-900.webp) There were drinks made with homemade syrups and homemade baked goods as well. We got a mango smoothie and homemade pineapple vinegar (hibiscus & rose) to take onto the electric boat. ## What was the difference between the four- and six-person electric boats? The water activities available here are electric boats and hwangpo dotbae (traditional yellow-sailed boats). I tried both the four- and six-person electric boats. ![Water leisure activity information at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-14-1tfam-900.webp) ![Water leisure activity information at Cafe Dunchi in Yangyang](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-15-166pd-900.webp) In my experience, the six-person boat felt steadier and more spacious. The four-person boat was the more thrilling option. If you are with a young child, the six-person boat may feel more comfortable. ## Could we drink beverages while riding the four-person boat? ![Preparing to board an electric boat at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-16-qobe8-900.webp) ![Before boarding an electric boat on Namdaecheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-17-1hau8-900.webp) First, we put on life jackets and got on the boat. ![Electric boat experience wearing a life jacket](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-18-1nu00-900.webp) ![Boarding an electric boat at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-19-13ixp-900.webp) ![Electric boat ride experience on Namdaecheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-20-1h7c2-900.webp) There were spaces on the boat for holding drinks. We placed our takeaway drinks there and drank them while riding. ![Takeaway drinks enjoyed together on an electric boat](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-21-15nv9-900.webp) The boat rocked when it changed direction. The child riding with us was nervous at first, but their expression became much brighter as time passed. ![Time spent riding an electric boat on Namdaecheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-22-j4poe-900.webp) From the river, I could see Cafe Dunchi, the departure point, and the distant East Sea. Other people were also spending time on Namdaecheon in electric boats. ![Namdaecheon surroundings viewed from an electric boat](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-23-1awhu-900.webp) ![River scenery enjoyed from Cafe Dunchi’s electric boat](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-24-3zbzk-900.webp) ## What did the homemade pineapple vinegar ade taste like? The homemade pineapple vinegar ade I drank was divisive because of its sourness. My husband said it was sour enough to jolt him awake and did not drink it, but I enjoyed it. If you like tart drinks such as Hongcho, it may suit your taste. ## 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 - 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/@words-with-coffee/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-6c4e/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
