What's the difference between the Sky Capsule and Beach Train? Which should I choose?

The Sky Capsule is a 4-person colorful pod on an elevated track — higher views, private, most photogenic, but pricier and needs a reservation. The Beach Train runs at sea level with hop-on/hop-off stops, cheaper and more flexible. Choose the Sky Capsule for photos and experience, the Beach Train for easy sightseeing.

Do I need to reserve the Sky Capsule? Can I buy on-site?

In peak season (weekends, summer) the Sky Capsule often sells out — reserving a timed slot online is strongly recommended. The Beach Train is more flexible on-site, but popular times may still involve queues.

What's the route? Where does it run?

It runs along the coast between Mipo — Cheongsapo — Songjeong. The Sky Capsule mostly covers Mipo↔Cheongsapo; the Beach Train runs the full line with segment stops.

Which direction and time is best for photos?

Sit on the sea side, and ride near sunset when the water turns golden. The Sky Capsule pod seats up to 4 as a private car — great for couples and families.

How many people fit in one Sky Capsule?

Each pod is private and seats up to 4, ideal for families or friends. Since it's priced per capsule, the more people the better the value.
