What it is for
A calmer beach than Haeundae, framed by the lit Gwangan Bridge across the bay. The strip behind the sand is dense with cafes and bars, and the bridge runs a light show after dark.
The best sunset-to-night spot in the city. Some weekend evenings bring a drone or fireworks show over the bay.
