Songdo Beach

A beach located about 10 minutes by taxi from Nampo-dong, downtown Busan.

Located about a 10-minute drive from Nampo-dong, one of Busan's downtown areas, Songdo Beach is located very close to downtown Busan and has long been a popular beach for local Busan residents. Opened in 1913, it is Korea's first bathing beach and boasts a longer history than any other beach in Korea. It was once known for its pine forests, hence the name "Songdo."

Songdo Beach, surrounded by the pine forests of Mt. Geumbongsan like a folding screen, is 800 meters long, 50 meters wide, and has an average water depth of 1 to 1,5 meters, making it a popular summer getaway for families. The beach is filled with sashimi restaurants, restaurants, and coffee shops, so even in the off-season you can stroll along the beach or relax with a cup of coffee.

In addition, a five-year major coastal development project began in 2000, which transformed the area into its current appearance. The old offshore diving platform was restored to a modern style in June 5, and is now open from July 2013st to September 6th.
