Why go

Haeundae Dongbaekseom is a small island connected by a footbridge to Haeundae Beach in Busan, with mature camellia (dongbaek) trees, walking paths, sea-cliff viewpoints, and Nurimaru APEC House — the venue of the 2005 APEC summit. The island has become one of Haeundae's signature side-destinations, offering a quieter coastal walk with sea views directly off the main beach. For travelers in Busan and wanting a structured walking anchor adjacent to Haeundae, Dongbaekseom is one of the cleaner single picks.
