Mangsang Beach in Donghae, Gangwon, is listed at 6270-10 Donghae-daero and as open at all hours; visitor center inquiries go to 033-530-2800. KTO updated its site information on September 10, 2026. The visitor center area has accessible parking, gently ramped entries, accessible toilets, a shared accessible shower and one wheelchair available for loan. Accessible camp sites and caravans are also mentioned; bookings and suitability must be confirmed separately. The critical route issue is near the central clock tower: northward paths have wooden boardwalk surfaces while the southern route uses paving slabs. Some southern slabs, notably near the Mangsang Second Auto Camping Ground, have unfilled gaps that the KTO accessibility route notes can make wheelchair passage difficult or impossible. Two approximately 150-cm-wide connecting decks provide access from the beachfront walkway toward the sandy beach, including turning areas. Assistance dogs may accompany visitors but are not allowed to enter the sea under the stated policy. Although the site overview was updated in 2026, the detailed route map carries a 2022 date; ask locally whether the paving has since been repaired.

Mangsang Beach accessible route: north boardwalk versus paving gaps to the south
KTO lists accessible parking, one loan wheelchair and two short decks toward the sand, but warns of problematic paving gaps south of the clock tower.
Different surface types around the beach clock tower may determine whether a wheelchair can continue safely.
01
What we're seeing
Plan around the wooden route north of the clock tower and check any southbound slab gaps before using them.
02
What we still don't know
The present condition of the paving, current wheelchair inventory and accessible accommodation bookings have not been checked.
