Facing the open mudflat at Waon, this cafe is built around the sunset. Its big windows and terrace let you watch the tide pull out and the sky turn red with a hot or iced drink in hand. Window seats go first, so people tend to arrive about half an hour before sunset and order dessert while they wait.

It can feel crowded on clear summer weekends, and noisy when tour groups pile in. The drinks are standard, with the view as the real selling point. Prices fit a typical sightseeing cafe, around six to eight thousand won per drink.

Stay for the post-sunset blue hour before driving back.

Getting there

Beside Waon Beach, about 30 to 35 minutes by car from downtown. A taxi round trip is easiest, since buses are rare. (Show a driver: 카페와온)
