I had the opportunity to stay at the Busan seaside, at Songdo Beach. The beach is beautifully curved. This is a place for Busan residents to relax. The atmosphere along the beach is very good. The wind is cool and comfortable. You can walk and take pictures from many angles. There is a walking bridge for exercising. If you want to take a cable car, there is one too. But we didn't take it. There are also cafes along the beach. When I went, the waves were strong, so I didn't get to swim. #Get a discount without relying on luck #Visit Busan

#springtrip #busantrip #songdobeach #busansongdo Busan Songdo, the essence of the wide open South Sea🌊 I went to Busan early before it got hotter😊 The place I stayed was Songdo Beach! You can go to Yeongdo by crossing a bridge, and it's also close to Nampo-dong, so the location was great! Come to Songdo to enjoy food at the nearby Kkangtong Market and Jagalchi Market, and enjoy the beautiful beach👍 📍Location: Songdo Beach, Amnam-dong, Seo-gu, Busan

#koreatrip I like this beach more than haeundae and gwangalli beach. it’s more protected so there are no waves and nicer to swim in with shallow waters. it’s the smallest but less crowded. it also has the sky walk over the water and the cable car and the cliff bridge walk. lots to do in just a small area. Pretty beach with lots of picture taking opportunities so come and visit !

#dreamdestination Let me introduce the night view of Songdo Beach. It is very nice for sightseeing.
