Dadaepo Beach, where Nakdonggang River and the South Sea meet, allows you to enjoy the beauty of nature with Busan’s sunrise, sunset, and sandy beach. The smoothness of Dadaepo Beach’s soft white sand is thanks to the long weathering period. The unique texture of the sand brushing between the toes provides a refreshing and pleasant sensation. The shallow and warm beach also makes it the perfect play place for children.
Visitors have increased since the construction of the coastal park and eco exploration route. At the entrance of the beach, the coastal park greets visitors with the largest sunset fountain in the world, presenting a magnificent sight with its colorful lighting, music, and dancing fountain. The fountain show held regularly between the end of April and October awaits night travelers.
The Gowooni Ecological Trail is where you can see Dadaepo Marsh’s animals and plants. Walk on the trail that connects to the wooden deck to experience the sensation of walking between the sky and ocean.
