Haeundae Beach, Beach resort in Haeundae District, South Korea

The white sand shoreline of Haeundae Beach extends for 1.5 kilometers along the coast, accommodating up to 120,000 visitors at once.

The area transformed from a fishing zone to a recreational space in the late 19th century, later serving as a military station during the Korean War.

The Haeundae Sand Festival brings international artists to create sand sculptures, while the Polar Bear Festival sees thousands swimming in winter waters.

Visitors can reach the beach within five minutes from Haeundae Station on Line 2, with exit 3 or 5 leading directly to the shore.

The beach achieved a Guinness World Record in 2008 for the highest number of beach umbrellas, totaling 7,937 at one time.
