Gwangalli Beach, Public beach in Suyeong District, Busan, South Korea
Gwangalli Beach is a sandy shore in Suyeong District that stretches beneath the Gwangandaegyo Bridge, offering views of Busan's skyline across the bay. The beach sits along Suyeong Bay with water on one side and the city rising behind it.
The beach developed in the 1960s when it shifted from a fishing area to a public recreation space for the growing city. This change shows how Busan transformed its waterfront into a destination for leisure and social life.
The beach serves as a gathering place where locals come to unwind and socialize, especially in the evening when lights shimmer across the water. It reflects Busan's modern leisure culture and how the city has opened its waterfront to public enjoyment.
The beach is easy to reach via Gwangan Station on Line 2 and sits near central Busan for convenient access. Equipment for water sports is available to rent during summer months, and the area has changing facilities and showers.
The Gwangandaegyo Bridge glows with thousands of LED lights each evening, reflecting across the water and creating a light show that feels almost magical. This nighttime display draws people who come specifically to capture photos and watch the colors change.
