DongBaek Island, a small enchanted timeless place located just right to Haeundae Beach. It is a perfect healing place for people who are looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle of the busy life.
I was here during a windy Saturday afternoon. It was full of tourists, joggers and pedestrians who went there with their family members. That was the moment I wished that I can stay in Busan for the rest of life. Come on, try to imagine you spending your evening walk around the island with your loved ones, taking deep breath of the fresh air, listening to the sound of ocean wave crashing on the shore.........not bad huh ?!
Most of the people have the idea that it is an island that you can only access by boat or ferry. Guess what, you couldn't be more wrong. Well, technically, it WAS an island. But after thousand years, the island has joined the mainland of Korea and becoming one. So, before taking it off from your bucket list, think again. It is just RIGHT Haeundae beach, and it will be a fool of you to miss such a beautiful scenery in Busan.

The suggested walking course starts from the red arrow as shown at the picture above. You will find the staircase easily at the end of Haeundae Beach. The staircase will lead all the way to see the Statue of Mermaid, Statue of Scholar Choi Chi Won (he was the one who named Haeundae), APEC Conference Hall and DongBaek Lighthouse.
