Dongbaek Island

Dongbaek Island is a tied island located on the coast of Haeundae-gu. It is connected to the mainland by a sandy islet, creating a distinct landform. Visitors go here to walk along the shoreline and view the open ocean and the surrounding city skyline.

Duration of Visit

Allow approximately 1 to 2 hours to walk the perimeter paths and reach the lighthouse at the tip of the island.
