Ready to dash across hot sand and dive into cool waves? All seven of Busan's beaches will officially be open on July 1, inviting visitors to soak up the sun, splash in the surf and bask in the city's signature summer vibe. Busan's beaches offer much more than swimming and sunbathing. From dynamic music festivals to peaceful sunsets, each one has its unique charm.
🌊 Dadaepo Beach
Nestled at the mouth of the Nakdonggang River on the western edge of the city, Dadaepo Beach offers warm, shallow waters and a family-friendly vibe.
The beach also offers natural wonders that the other beaches lack. Bring the kids to chase crabs and dig for clams in the area's tidal flats, or take a walk on Morundae Peninsula, a national geopark offering dense pine forests and a coastal landscape with unique rock formations.
Kids also love running through the dancing jets of water at the Sunset Fountain of Dreams.
The real magic begins at sunset, when the sky overhead turns into a blue, violet and pink painting. Take it all in atop a standup paddleboard for a view you'll never forget.
🌊 Ilgwang and Imnang
Looking for peace and quiet? Head to Gijang-gun County, where Ilgwang and Imnang beaches offer tranquil escapes from the city.
Ilgwang Beach's 2-kilometer arc of golden sand is perfect for long walks, lazy lounging or seaside picnics.
Imnang Beach, a 15-minute drive away, charms visitors with its pine forest, soft sand and crystal-clear water. It's the kind of beach people secretly hope to keep to themselves.
