Probably the best beach to hangout with a bunch of friends in Busan. Also, in summer they have this cool water gun festival. Usually is not that crowded at night
If you're lucky enough.. you can find some mini fireworks here at night.. That's awesome.
Busy city beach
the best beach of Busan
Gwangalli Beach, or Gwangan Beach is a beach in Busan located on the bay overlooking Gwangan Bridge. This is the site for sailing events in the 1988 Summer Olympics. They say that this beach isn’t as popular as Haeundae, but I can’t tell the difference. There were still loads of people here.
In fact, I find Gwangalli a much more happening spot as the beach is surrounded by waterfront cafes and restaurants.
At the edge of the waterfront on Gwangalli, you'll find the common sight of fishing rods casting their bait into the sea.
Rock formations just off the Gwangalli waterfront. Look closely at the crashing waves and you might just catch a small statue of one man standing against the sea. Never yielding, unmovable, it stands against the current, against the crashing waves, against the winds, his sight fixed upon the horizon.
