Dadaepo Beach
Though celebrated for its rich sunsets, Dadaepo is also a great place to visit while the sun is high in the sky.
The beach lives up to its name, meaning "large and wide port," with shallow water at the mouth of the Nakdonggang River a draw for families with children. Beautiful sunsets, visible from Saha Sunset Road, and large-scale sculptures, installed at last year's Sea Art Festival, only up Dadaepo's appeal.
More than a thousand visitors gather nightly on the beach to watch columns of water projected from the world's largest ground fountain. Cool off wat-ching the water rise and fall to pop and classical melodies at the Sunset Fountain of Dreams or jump right in following the show.
There is still more to enjoy at the beach, including a mudflat for catching conch and crab and water sports such as kiteboarding, wind- surfing and sailing.
- Don't miss: Kiteboarding, an amalgam of paragliding and wakeboarding. The extreme sport sees a large kite used to propel a wake boarder. With consistent winds and a broad, sandy beach, Dadaepo is ideal for kiteboarding. Beginner courses are regularly offered. Find out more at 051-207-3700.
- How to get there: Take Metro Line No. 1 and get off at Sinpyeong Station, then take bus Nos. 2, 11, 338 or 1000 bound for Dadaepo Beach at the bus stop near exit 4 of the station.
