For a refreshing seaside stroll with sweeping ocean views, YOLO Galmaetgil Route 3 offers one of Busan's most picturesque escapes. This scenic 5.8-kilometer route stretches from Songjeong Station to Mipo Station, hugging the city's eastern coastline.
A 10-minute walk from Songjeong Station leads to Songjeong Beach. This sandy playground is a favorite year-round, but it buzzes in August with sunseekers and surfers alike.
From the beach, trekkers follow a wooden deck that winds along the coast. With brilliant blue water on one side and lush greenery on the other, it's easy to appreciate this urban paradise.
Midway through, take a breather at the Cheongsapo Daritdol or Haewol observatories. Their reinforced glass floors offer a heart-pounding view of the waves crashing below. With the sea swirling beneath your feet, either place offers a memorable spot to take a picture and rest before finishing the trail.
