Dongbaek: a coastal pause beside Haeundae
Start from Dongbaek Station Exit 1 and connect Dongbaekseom coastal loop, Nurimaru APEC House, Gwangan Bridge viewpoint only when conditions support it. Allow 3–4 hours. The editorial lens is to “Use the island as a quieter coastal counterpoint to Haeundae rather than another beach checklist.” Recheck official transport, opening and safety notices on the day.
