The scenery of Gwangalli Beach was really nice. We were able to do various activities such as surfing and having fun in the water. But it was a popular tourist destination and crowded with a lot of people who enjoy the activities. So we just dabbled and enjoyed the view of the beach. At night, there were fewer people so we went for a walk around the sea while and feel the mood. I thought it would be great for a date. Because Gwangan Bridge shines brightly with the lights at night and creates a romantic mood. In addition, there are many restaurants and many things to enjoy nearby like souvenir shops and bar with mood. It was a trip that I was satisfied. It's such a nice place, so I recommend you to go!

I lived in a small apartment in a high rise right on Gwangalli Beach for a month and commuted into Seomyeon on the subway on weekdays (via Geumnyeonsan station). I loved this location. There are plenty of restaurants and cafe/dessert places on every block, and of course there is a 7-Eleven or GS25 on every block, too. Small grocery stores are also within walking distance. It's a great place to walk for exercise, and I felt safe walking alone. There are buskers on the beach, which is fun. It can be a little noisy at night, so try for a higher floor if you face the beach.

This beach has a great view of the Gwangan Beach and makes us wish we had visited when it was warmer to enjoy the water. The area is lined with nice restaurants, bars, cafes and shops. There are some interactive exhibits in the area for photo opportunities and we enjoyed ourselves despite the cold weather. The closest metro station is Gwangan and we found ourselves spending about 2 hours in the area as we enjoyed a nice dinner and checked out some shops. Had it been warmer we would consider spending much more time here and perhaps booking a hotel as we found this beach pretty central in Busan.

I was able to catch a special Christmas drone show. Maybe a bit short to visit just to view it. However, if you are in the area, worth taking a few minutes out of your evening. Be sure to check the schedule as the times and shows change with the seasons

Amazing beach with great scenery. Tall buildings around Busan coast and the Gwangalli bridge has a romantic appeal with a mesmerizing twist at night. This is not a beach great for swimming or partying, but for walking/jogging and chilling.

Many people come to Gwangalli beach around sunset but not to watch the sun set. They come to see the light show of the Gwangandaegyo Bridge and also the drone light show. The Gwangandaegyo Bridge light starts after the sun set every day. The drone light show is scheduled to perform only 2(two) times every Saturday evening all year round and depending on the month. From October to February at 19:00 and 21:00. From March to September at 20:00 and 22:00. These schedules are for 2024. It is best to check the current schedule as it may change depending on the situation. The drone light show runs about 10 minutes. It is best to watch the light show while drinking coffee at one of the shops along Gwanganhaehyeon-ro.

Judging by the number of people there, you have to believe that Gwangalli Beach has got to be Busan's second most popular beach in Busan, coming in close after its more slightly better known sibling, Haeundae Beach. This beach is located at the Gwangan district of Busan. One of the most breathtaking sights that greets you is the beautiful and iconic Gwangan Bridge spanning the entire stretch of the beach. Just like Haeundae, Gwangalli's many many lanes and alleys are filled with restaurants, cafes, bars, bistros and coffee places. It's really a treat to get a cup of tea and sit and just watch the world go by. If you happen to be there on a Saturday, then there is an incentive to stay past dinner because of the Gwangalli Marvelous Drone Light Show that happens at 8pm and 10pm. The theme for the show we saw was "Dinosaur" so we had great fun seeing those drones light up in the sky into T-Rex, Triceratops and what not.

We got here by metro before sunset, ate at a restaurant on the street next to the beached and had a nice stroll as the light show from the bridge started. The air was still cool in early June and there were buskers along the beach. Great atmosphere!

If sightseeing is their thing, then the best place to go is Gwangalli Beach. It’s well worth a visit because there are many beautiful scenery. What’s more there are a lot of delicious restaurants around here. Especially there's a restaurant called Ant House, which was amazing. And at night, the scenery and lighting of the sea were prettier. My friends and I went to a cocktail bar and ate something delicious while looking at the sea view. As I ate while looking at the sea, I felt more delicious. If you go to Busan, I would recommend Gwangalli rather than Haeundae.

Gwangalli beach was a bit of everything. A beautiful beach looking out over the bridge, which towering sky scrappers, but simultaneously a relaxing chilled out beach. Lots of shops, restaurant and bars are surrounding the beach meaning there is something for everyone. I’d definitely recommend to anyone visiting Busan.
