Best of Haeundae District

Haeundae-gu's Absolute Essentials

Haeundae-gu combines urban coastal scenery with specialized cultural sites. Beyond the iconic Haeundae Beach, the district features the quieter Songjeong Beach and the traditional Chungsapo fishing village. Cultural highlights include the Busan City Art Museum and the specialized Library of Mystery Literature, while natural escapes range from the pine-fringed trails of Dongbaekseom Island to the 634-meter JangSan Mountain. Dalmaji-gil Road offers cherry blossoms in spring and elevated views of the Korea Strait.
