Haeundae Beach (Korean: 해운대해수욕장) is an urban beach in Busan, South Korea, located in the eponymous Haeundae District.[1]
Description
The beach first opened in 1965, and was the largest beach in the country at the time.[2] The sandy portion of the beach is 1.46 kilometres (0.91 mi) long and 40 m (130 ft) wide.[3][4] It has a parking lot that is handicap accessible.[4]
The beach is open year-round. Various festivals are held there throughout the year, including the Polar Bear Club, held annually in January since 1988, in which participants bathe in near-freezing water.[5]
Haeundae is associated with cinema, due to the Busan International Film Festival and the 2009 disaster film Tidal Wave.[6]
The beach has hosted e-sports events for games like StarCraft.[7]
