Lotus flowers are in full bloom all over Korea. See fields upon fields of these graceful flowers at Semiwon Garden, just 30 minutes east of Seoul.

Need a place to escape all this never ending grey? Head to Coconut Box in Hongdae! 🥥

Coconut Box opened up in February this year, in the old Trick Eye Museum space, and it’s full of all the tropical vibes you could wish for.

There are 32 unique bungalows to choose from, fresh coconuts, an afternoon tea set, VR games, a media art room, and 2 absolutely massive ball pits for kids to play in.

Ours pretty much disappeared for 2.5 hours, while we mommies relaxed in our bungalow with fruity drinks.

We visited around 1:30 and we had our pick of bungalows, but it definitely started to get busier later in the day. After 4pm is a no-kids zone, so I imagine it turns into quite the date night spot in the evenings.

There are various all-inclusive packages available that include a bungalow, all attractions, and an afternoon tea set. These need to be reserved in advance.

📍 서울 마포구 홍익로3길 20 서교프라자 1층

August is definitely the best month of the year to visit beaches in Korea. Most of the rain and grey weather of monsoon season is behind us, and you can enjoy blue skies, bright sunshine, and sandy shores.

If you’re looking for a beach you can easily visit on a day trip from Seoul, I recommend Hanagae Beach on Muuido Island near Incheon. This is the one I head to again and again during summer in Korea.

The tide comes in incredibly fast in the afternoon, and it’s perfect for swimming with soft sand and clean water. There’s also a gorgeous walkway that connects Hanagae, with a rugged rocky beach. It’s beautiful to explore right at sunset.

“The lotus flower blooms most beautifully from the deepest and thickest mud.” ~Buddha

There’s a lotus flower festival on at Bongeunsa Temple in Gangnam, until August 19th.

Visit after 7pm, to see a multitude of white lanterns illuminating one of Seoul’s oldest temples, and see the 23-m tall sculpture of Maitreya (aptly, the future Buddha, which looks over Starfeild Coex Mall across the street).

Looking for a super fun activity to do with kids in Korea in this crazy, hot, humid weather?

This candy making experience at the adorable family-owned Finger Candy is sure to make them happy.

The teacher is super sweet and explains things in a clear, easy to follow manner. My daughter is in grade 1, and she had no problem making most of the candies herself. However, parents are allowed in the room to help children with any parts that might be too complicated or difficult.

The experience costs 25,000 won and takes about 1.5 hours to complete. You need to call and make a reservation, before showing up.

The teacher has spent time in Australia, so she said classes are possible for English speakers too.

It’s worth it! My daughter came home with a huge bag of delicious handmade candy that we’re STILL eating. 🍭
