Haeundae Beach is Probably the Most Famous Beach in South Korea

Haeundae Beach is probably the most famous beach in the country. The name Haeundae was named by scholar Choi Chi-Won of the Silla Dynasty. When he was walking past Dongbaekdo Island, he was fascinated by it and left carved words Hae Un Dae on a Stone Wall on Dongbaekdo Island. Haeundae is 1.5km long, 30~50m wide, with an area of 58,400㎡. The white sand is rough and easily sticks to your skin. The sand of this beach is composed of sands that come from Chuncheon Stream and shells that have disintegrated naturally by the wind over a long time. Haeundae Beach is also famous for the various cultural events and festivals held throughout the year. At Haeundae Beach there is a Folk Square where you can enjoy traditional games such as Neoldduigi (seesaw jumping), Korean wrestling, Tuho(arrow throwing), tug-of-War and yutnori.
