Went there on a kind of sand event day I guess. They all looked so good. But it rained so hard later that day. The wind was super strong that the umbrella we bought just broke and flew away lol

This is one of the must visit attractions when you are in Busan. The beach is nice and clean, not crowded during my visit just because it was cold in the morning. The beach area surrounded by cafes, restaurants and also sea life. You can strolling around the beach and relax your mind 😍🌻

Pretty beach however aren’t allowed to swim in certain times of the year which is very disappointing. Nice to walk along the beach both at night as during the day. Can go along the beach and into the nature area where the walk is very relaxing and pretty. When you get out the other side you can see a good view of the Gwangandaegyo bridge.
