Songdo Beach, Public beach in Seo District, Busan, South Korea.

Songdo Beach is a man-made beach in Amnam-dong, Seo District, Busan, measuring 800 metres long and 50 metres wide. Behind the sand lies a waterside park of 30,000 square metres with about 6,300 trees, fountains, pergolas, stands, ramps and a 1,600-metre wooden boardwalk. A coastal road 1,300 metres long and 12 to 20 metres wide runs alongside it.

The beach was founded in 1913 as Korea's first public beach, marking a shift in how the city developed. Later it underwent major development through a local amusement company that built recreational facilities.

The name Songdo means "Island of Pines", taken from the pines growing on Geobuk Island offshore. A summer sea festival is held here each year, and the Hyeonin Song Festival also takes place at the beach.

The area is easiest to reach from Jagalchi Station on Busan Metro Line 1, where several buses serve the area nearby. The ground is flat and straightforward to walk through, making most areas accessible on foot.

The beach was created by the Songdo Amusement Co., Ltd., a company set up by Japanese residents, and a 420-metre cable car ran from 1964 between Geobuk Island and the western hillside above the beach. The cable car and the rope bridge to Geobuk Island were later removed, but for 20 to 40 years they were the beach's best-known attraction.
