Songdowŏn

Songdowŏn, Beach in Wonsan, North Korea

Songdowŏn is a beach in Songhŭng-dong, Wonsan, on the inner side of Kalma Peninsula in Wonsan Bay. Its sandy shore is 2.7 km long and 40–100 cm wide, backed by dense pine forest; the bay location keeps the water shallow. The 4.96 km² site also holds the Songdowŏn Youth Open-Air Theatre and the International Children's Camp.

Development of the area began in 1923 when a company built recreational facilities including golf courses and lodgings. The site later gained prominence as a venue for state and international activities.

The Songdowŏn International Children's Camp began in 1960 as the Songdowŏn Central Children's Camp and took its current name in 1985. It was rebuilt in 1993 and 2014. Since 2014 the Songdowŏn Line railway has linked it to Pyongyang, Ch'ŏngjin and Haeju, bringing young campers from abroad.

The site is connected by rail to major cities, making it relatively accessible for visits. Visitors should plan ahead and prepare for organized tours, since the beach is primarily open to coordinated groups.

The location historically served as a private retreat with swimming pools and fishing grounds used by state leadership for recreation. This dual role as both public and exclusive makes this beach distinctive in the region.
