Beyond the beach: how to read Haeundae from Gunam-ro to Dongbaekseom
From Haeundae Station Exit 5, walk down Gunam-ro for about ten minutes to the beach, then continue west from the sand to the Dongbaekseom coastal path and Nurimaru APEC House. Allow four to six hours: one to two hours for the urban beach and roughly two for the pine-and-rock coast. Beach swimming operations and Nurimaru interior access are separate, changeable systems—verify both officially.

FIRST-VISIT DECISION
Is the beach always the first stop in Haeundae?
Check wind, rain and beach notices first; in poor weather, shorten the coast and switch to nearby indoor stops.
