CoastViewpoint & Walk
Dongbaekseom sits at the western end of Haeundae Beach and feels like a transition from resort shoreline to a quieter coastal path. Pine and camellia woodland frame sections of rocky coast, while Nurimaru APEC House marks the edge of the water.
Across the bay, Marine City’s towers give the walk a distinctly urban horizon. The combination of shade, sea, and architecture makes this one of the most efficient ways to understand Busan’s eastern waterfront on foot.
Best for: A scenic short walk and close-up views of Busan’s modern waterfront
