  • magical beach, especially at night, where u can see Gwangan Bridge light up by colorful lights and fireworks from the boats below. right now, they also have a drone show every Saturday that have different themes and it’s really beautiful.
  • Really like the beach, not sure if it is the best to me but definitely in the top two Busan beaches. As it was out of the season, difficult to say how busy can be there. Itself is quite long, great for a walk also there is plenty of branches to rest. Really recommend to visit if you are in Busan.
