The ideal time to visit Abai Village in Sokcho is during the late spring months of May and June or during the early fall months of September and October. During these months, you'll encounter the most pleasant weather for exploring. The temperatures are moderate, typically ranging from 10°C to 25°C (50°F to 77°F), making your tours around the village comfortable. Additionally, the scenic beauty of Sokcho is at its peak, with cherry blossoms and bright greenery in the spring, and the vibrant foliage of fall creating picturesque views perfect for your visit. Visiting in these shoulder seasons also means fewer crowds, which allows for a more peaceful experience in the quaint fishing village.
While summer months from July to August offer warm temperatures and ideal conditions for beach activities, these are also the busiest and most humid times in Sokcho, which can cause some discomfort during your stay. Abai Village is particularly popular during this time due to the nearby beach attractions and summer festivals, leading to larger crowds. On the other hand, winter months from December to February are generally cold, with snow occasionally affecting travel plans; however, the winter landscape can be stunning, offering a different type of allure with fewer tourists around. Keep in mind that many businesses in South Korea take advantage of the summer vacation period to close for holidays, which could affect your visit.
