What to do and see in Busan, South Korea: The Best Beaches

February 5, 2022 Weston Hennigan

Busan is Korea's second largest city.  Tourists often come to this region to hike and to visit the Buddhist Temples located deep within the region's mountains. The Beomeosa Temple, founded in 678 AD, is perhaps one of the most frequented temples in the area and is always packed with worshipers and tourists. For art buffs, Busan offers several museums and historical buildings. If scenery is your thing, try visiting the Dongbaek Island, or bird watch at the Nakdong river estuary.

Gwangalli Beach

Reviewed By moot - Tenbury Wells, United Kingdom

We stayed on a hotel overlooking the beach and we loved the beach itself and the whole area. Lots of restaurants and bars to choose from and a wonderful beach to stroll along- plus the convenience of the compressed air pumps to clean the sand off your shoes afterwards.

Songdo Beach

Reviewed By thesoulofseoulblog - Seoul, South Korea

I loved visiting Songdo Beach because its really more than a beach as it features a cable car, walking paths around cliffs, and a suspension bridge. Plenty to see and do and lots of restaurants and cafes here too.

Haeundae Beach

Reviewed By auggie_aj - Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Ask any Busan visitors, they would recommend Haeundae Beach for people watching. It is just like anyother beach around the world to be seen or to see. It is filled with people during summer and fun activities going on. The walk to the beach from the metro station has been renovated for pop-up events or sale. A whole lot of restaurants catering from western, european, indian, asian cuisine are available. The beach looks fantastic during the early morning or sunrise. Also, Busan Aquarium is located near the entrance of Haeundae beach and a perfect spot for family with kids to kill time in the afternoon.
