Songdo Beach
​Busan's first public beach is also home to the country's longest skywalk, a symbol of the beach's incredible transformation over the years. Songdo Beach opened in 1913. Several installations have since been erected at the beach, with some having been recently refurbished.

In addition to a 365-meter, glass-bottomed skywalk from the beach to Turtle Island, a whale-shaped lighthouse was constructed in the middle of the bay, along with a diving board and an artificial waterfall. 
As many as 7 million people visited the beach last year, recording the third-highest numbers in Busan following Haeundae and Gwangalli.

A maritime leisure town and cable car service are slated for completion next year. An auto camping site is also due to open up next April, while the cable car that once traversed the area in the '80s will be restored to its former glory. The car will resume service between Amnam Park and Songrim Park.

- Don't miss: The Coastal Walkway, a 1.3-kilometer-long walkway from Songdo Beach to Amnam Park, straddling coastal cliffs, forests and the sea. The course follows the densely-wooded seaside, where hikers have the chance to cross the suspension bridge or take a break next to geological faults.

- How to get there: ​ Take bus Nos. 7, 9, 26, 30, 71 or 96 and get off at Songdo Beach.
