Eating and drinking around
Daecheon area:
You don't have to worry
about what you are going to eat at all. There are countless seafood
restaurants along side the beach and around it.
Fried chicken and beer
joints are also popular there. There are even some delivery guys who
walk around the beach with already cooked chicken and sell it. So,
while you're laying on the sand enjoying the sun, your lunch or
dinner will come to you.
There are a few cafes that
serve sandwiches too. There will be food stalls around the festival
that sells shawarma and chicken kebabs, Turkish ice cream.
You can buy drinks from
anywhere, 7/11, 25GS, C&U.
Sleeping in Daecheon:
Okay, that might be the
hardest part. You should book a room in advance if you're planing to
spend a night or two at the festival. All of the good rooms will
disappear quickly in the first couple of days of the festival. The
rooms that are left are either very bad or far from the beach.
Other things to do:
1- Walk around and explore
the town.
2- Play fair games.
3- Visit the trick eye
museum.
4- Go to the water park
across the street from the beach.
