[Saha-gu] Dadaepo Beach Kicks Off Summer Season
Dadaepo West Beach and East Beach entered the 2026 summer schedule on July 1 and will continue through August 31.
This year, Dadaepo Beach boasts upgraded facilities, greater comfort and safety, and internationally recognized environmental credentials.
● Blue Flag Award
Dadaepo West Beach has once again demonstrated its environmental excellence by earning a Blue Flag certification ahead of the beach opening.
The Blue Flag is a globally renowned eco-certification initiative led by the Foundation for Environmental Education, headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is granted to beaches that meet rigorous criteria for water purity, nature conservation efforts, and safe conditions.
Dadaepo West Beach first received the Blue Flag certification in 2021. Today, Blue Flag-certified beaches and marinas can be found in approximately 50 countries, with over 5,000 participating sites.
Dadaepo Beach Park has renewed its Green Key certification, an eco-label emphasizing sustainable stewardship and management in the hospitality industry. The park persists as the only urban park in Korea to hold this certification.
● Elevated Facilities
The relocation of the drainage pipeline at East Beach has been completed, contributing to a more orderly and pleasant shoreline.
Supporting facilities have also been significantly enhanced: three parking lots with 771 spaces; three pay-per-use showers and two shower rooms; five foot-washing stations; two free changing rooms; 250 parasols; and eight restrooms.
Two watchtowers and seven observation platforms further strengthen accident control.
Dadaepo West Beach is one of Busan’s most beloved multigenerational beaches, known for its extensive sandy coast, shallow waters, and stunning sunsets. Nearby attractions such as Dadaepo Sunset Fountain of Dreams, Dadaepo Beach Park, and scenic trails shape a well-rounded seaside leisure package.
