| Description |
Haeundae Beach is probably the most famous beach in the country. The name
"Haeundae" was named by scholar Choi Chi-Won (857~?) of the Silla Dynasty
(BC57~AD 935). When he was walking past Dongbaekdo Island, he was fascinated by
it and left carved words "Hae Un Dae" on a Stone Wall on Dongbaekdo Island.
Haeundae is 1.5km long, 30~50m wide, with an area of 58,400?. The white sand is
rough and easily sticks to your skin. The sand of this beach is composed of
sands that come from Chuncheon Stream and shells that have disintegrated
naturally by the wind over a long time. Haeundae Beach is also famous for the
various cultural events and festivals held throughout the year. At Haeundae
Beach there is a Folk Square where you can enjoy traditional games such as
Neoldduigi (seesaw jumping), Korean wrestling, Tuho(arrow throwing), tug-of-War
and yutnori. There is also the Beach Culture Center and the Beach Library.
Numerous people visit every year from June to August.
