I don't know much beaches in Korea, but I heard Jungmoon Beach on Jeju Island is excellent. If you are looking for something closer, it's not a bad idea to go to streams/ rivers. And here are the list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivers_of_K...

Answer 3

There are so many things you can do in Korea that I would recommend buying a book about South Korea.  I bought one by a company called Moon.  If you are in Seoul there are English language bookstores in the Kyobo buildings in Gwanghwamun and Gangnam.  Libro Books is also in Gangnam.  There's another bookstore in the Coex Mall.  I know there are also a couple of used bookstores in Itaewon and there was one in the underground shopping area near the City Hall stop.  Also at city hall is a tourist information center with maps and info about shows and tourist attractions.
