The best area to stay in Samsin is the Dolsan Island area, particularly around Dolsan Park and the Samsin Maritime Cable Car.


This area is the heart of Samsin's visitor experience, offering stunning coastal views and convenient access to key attractions. Dolsan-ro is the main road that runs through the island, lined with hotels, seafood restaurants, and cafes. The Samsin Maritime Cable Car connects Dolsan Island to the mainland, providing an easy way to explore both sides of the city.


Couples will find the Dolsan Island area particularly appealing. Many hotels here offer rooms with sea views, superb for a romantic getaway. Dining options often feature fresh seafood with scenic backdrops. A stroll through Dolsan Park at sunset or a ride on the cable car offers memorable experiences.


For travellers looking for a more relaxed and scenic stay, the areas slightly further south on Dolsan Island, towards Hyangiram Hermitage, offer a quieter escape.

For the most pleasant weather and a full experience of Samsin's natural beauty, the best time to visit is during the spring (April to May) or autumn (September to October).


Spring in Samsin is characterised by mild temperatures and blooming cherry blossoms, particularly beautiful around the Seomjin River. It's an excellent time for outdoor activities like hiking in Jirisan National Park or exploring the tea plantations. The air is generally clear, offering good visibility for scenic views.


Autumn also brings comfortable temperatures and stunning foliage, especially in the mountainous regions. The harvest season means fresh local produce is abundant, and many cultural festivals take place. This period is ideal for those who enjoy hiking and want to experience the region's culinary offerings.


While summer (June to August) can be warm and humid with occasional heavy rainfall, it's still a popular time for those interested in water activities along the coast or at the Seomjin River.
