Gwangalli Beach
Full of romance and city lights, Gwangalli is an ideal evening location for a date. The 7.4-kilometer-long Gwangan Bridge is Korea's longest suspension bridge and a local landmark. During the day, the bridge casts a shadow against the sea and after nightfall its thousands of twinkling LED lights illuminate the waters below.
The beach is flanked by Millak-dong and Namcheon-dong, on the east and west sides, respectively. Test your sea legs in a kayak, stand up paddleboard, or a Jet Ski. The seaside trail connecting the two ends is abuzz with visitors and residents. Gwangalli also transforms into a hub for cultural activities at night with free performances staged regularly while the main road along the beach is closed to traffic weekends during the summer.
- Don't miss: Hwangnyeongsan Mountain Observatory Lounge and a view of the entire city from Haeundae to Seomyeon, Dongnae and beyond. Take a taxi from Geumnyeonsan Mountain Station.
- How to get there: Get off at Gwangan Station (Metro line 2) and go out exit 3 or 5. Walk 15 minutes to Gwangalli Beach, or take bus Nos. 38, 41, 42, 62, 83, 83-1 or 108 and get off at the Gwangalli Beach bus stop and walk 5 minutes.
