My visit here in Busan was great as I stayed near This beach and was able to have my usual morning run and enjoyed my one hour run. Even though the weather is cold at about 4 degrees on a sunrise 6 am run, was amazed to witness the sun rising in the sky and was able to accomplished my 5 kilometer distance. Highly recommendable to see this area. Even at night, lights are great

I woke up at 5:20 am to meet a sunrise, so many people over there that early time, jogging, duin yoga and meditation. I came here to find myself, to make a big decision. So the atmosphere of the Morning Haeundae beach helps a lot. The beach is not clean, so the water.

Haeundae Beach is arguably the most popular and definitely the most developed beach area in Korea. While it might be unbearable during the summer months when the sand is barely visible because of the crowds, it’s one of the most pleasant spots in Korea when the crowd is reasonable. The paved walkway that is parallel to the beach for a mile is a great spot for a stroll or jog. Although a lot of dining and drinking options have inflated prices, it is nice to have so many options within walking distance of the beach.

Objectively Haeundae beach is nice, long and photogenic. When the sun is right, great photos can be taken. The contrast of the colour of the sand and the sky with the glass buildings that reflect the sky works wonders. The problem is with my expectations. Namely, I wanted to eat something nice or maybe have long coffee or do anything, sports perhaps, but on the beach or nearby there is not a single restaurant or cafe or any activity. At Gunam-ro it is possible to find all this (well, about quality vs. prices another time), but it does not make any feeling that I am close to the sea or near the beach. I believe it still meets the needs of the locals, as I learned they come, bring the food, some kind of tent or parasol and enjoy time with their families. For me, there is quite dull, and one visit is more than enough.

I walked at the beach at night. It was September and the weather was perfect! It was not crowded; the breeze was warm and light. It was very relaxing! Young singers and music groups play jazz, soul, Korean music, etc... nothing loud. I relaxed a lot. Simply nice!

The beach is laden with rows of lights and lights designed as castle, trees and love signs. The beach is crowded with locals and tourists taking pictures among the light. There a some locals with small fireworks on the beach which adds to the entertainment to the crowd. A must place to see.

This beach is well organized in terms of umbrella, chaise and toy rentals. The sand is lovely. It is impeccably clean, as well, and mask wearing is enforced giving a sense of security. Lots of changing rooms, rest rooms, showers...everything you need for a relaxing day at the beach.

Haeundae Beach is the "it" beach of Korea, but I honestly think that other beaches that are less populated are more favorable (i.e. Seogwipo in Jeju and Gwangalli in Busan). It is a manmade beach situated next to the city and hosts a giant and very impressive sandcastle festival in April/May. Note that during the peak summer months where weather is warm, the beach is known to be very crowded.

It was a shame about the weather, but we didn’t let it get in the way. The beach was a little bit chaotic with large diggers and massive piles of sand as they were building some amazing sand sculptures or sandcastles we walked along the boardwalk. It was the start of the Sand Festival 2023

Coming from the airport or Jagalchi area, it was quite a drive to get to the Haeundae beach. But if you're visiting the Haedong Yonggung Temple, then it's close to visit this beach. It was winter when we visited, and the beach was cold and windy. But a great place to take pictures on a nice, sunny day... with artwork spread out on the beach. There was lighting everywhere, assuming that they lit up at night... would be impressive!
