The 2025 Ocean Healing Program offers wellness by the sea

 

Revitalize your body and mind through waterside wellness activities! Every weekend from May 17 to July 12, the 2025 Ocean Healing Program invites participants to exercise at various scenic waterfront locations throughout the city, including the seven major beaches, APEC Naru Park, Amir Park and Busan Port Chinsu Park. 

Now in its fifth year, the program continues to build its solid reputation for offering nature-infused wellness experiences along Busan’s beautiful beaches and rivers. 

This year’s programs offer a range of outdoor fitness activities against the backdrop of the sea, such as Beach Yoga, Sunset Pilates, Sweat Beach and Ocean Running. 

Beach Yoga takes place on Gwangalli Beach on early weekend mornings, while Sunset Pilates offers relaxing workouts during the golden hour at Haeundae Beach. 

Sweat Beach offers a high-intensity training session that combines CrossFit and circuit training, perfect for those who love a physical challenge. Ocean Running immerses participants in the coastal landscape as they jog along the beach. Runners can choose between a relaxing “slow running” pace or more intense “goal-oriented running,” depending on their fitness level.

Each program costs 10,000 won per person and requires pre-registration, as capacity is limited to 30 participants. In addition to the main activities, special programs like Sound Walking and a yacht retreat offer fresh ways to reconnect with nature. Sound Walking encourages participants to tune into the natural environments of Igidae or Taejongdae Island while capturing the sound of nature using headsets or microphones. 

For registration or detailed information, visit the program’s official website, which is linked below. If spots are available, on-site registration is also an option, excluding special programs.
