The beach is truly enchanting, especially during the night. You can witness the Gwangan Bridge light up with a plethora of colorful lights, and the boats below setting off fireworks. Additionally, on Saturdays, they put on a drone show with varying themes that is truly stunning.

I really enjoyed the beach, although I'm not entirely sure if it's my absolute favorite in Busan, but it's definitely in my top two. Since I visited during the off-season, it's hard to say how crowded it can get. The beach itself is quite lengthy and perfect for a leisurely stroll, with plenty of spots to take a break. I highly recommend checking it out if you're in Busan.
