Why go

Haeundae Beach is Korea's most famous urban beach, located in Busan with a fine 1.5-km sand stretch backed by hotel-and-restaurant strips. Haeundae has been a destination for Korean travelers since the early 20th century, with full beach infrastructure and a high level of foreign-tourist familiarity. The beach hosts major events year-round (Sand Festival, Polar Bear Swim, Lunar New Year fireworks). For first-time foreign visitors to Busan and Korea generally, Haeundae is one of the most consequential single anchors, and the natural starting point for exploring Busan's coastal identity.
