Asia - Beach weekend layover? Where?

I have a business trip that ends in Korea on a Friday (6/29) and don't need to be back in the US until July 4 or so... Any tips for a good beach location that doesn't add a ton of travel time or dollars?

I'm thinking either r/t from Seoul and use my original itinerary or if it's far enough and in the right direction just add another skip.

I was thinking perhaps the Philippines, but really have no ideas. Do you?

Thanks!

ICN MNL is 6+hr flight. Think ICN HNL US

Not that long, but still. It also would be your cheapest bet due to Cebu Pacific flying the route.

Okinawa nearly isn't that far, but the only problem is that flights will be very expensive and the facilities are not directed towards western travellers.

You can often get to Saipan or Guam for cheap.

Ah, Hawaii, nice. I could do that... I suppose once I would get to MNL I would still need to travel further along to Cebu or a beach spot.

The alternative would be just to get on home and rest there. Not a bad idea, either.

Jeju island?
It's only an hour or so flight from ICN.

Dont know if there are swimmable beaches there though but it's an island.

You can try Pukbun-ri Beach which is located 15km north of Chumunjin-up

Korean beach holiday not quite the same, is it? :)
