Dadaepo Beach : Nature Photography & Instagrammable Spot


The excitement when Malaysia’s KPoppers and KDrama fans heard that Air Asia is flying to Busan. I mean Air Asia flies to Seoul, Busan and Jeju is a great welcome not just for the ‘K’ fans but to travelers too (ni cerita sebelum pandemic lah of course).

So, you smart guys probably know by now that I will share my story on Busan and nature (will try to do a listicle on ‘Things To Do in Busan’ as well, nanti-nanti kot lah). Many would have knew that there are many beaches in Busan such as Songdo Beach, Gwangalli Beach and the famous Haeundae Beach. Let’s story mory on Dadaepo Beach, shall we!


Located only 8km from Busan town area in Saha District, Dadaepo Beach is popular among the locals as it is pretty much kid friendly due to the shallow, wide and long beach makes it suitable for kids to run around, for family to have picnic by the beach, kite flying time, nature photography and dating #eh. Many might have not known that Dadaepo Beach has won the 8th Korean Landscape Architectural Award from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in the green park category. Oh! I found out that the popular drama - The King: Eternal Monarch was shot here too. The delta where Nakdong River and the South Sea meet is an amazing place especially at sunrise and sunset.


Boardwalk! I absolutely love walkway! The Gouni Ecological Trail is a must experience when you are here, approximately 50,000 trees were planted on the sand beach, walking path and lawn for restoration project. The 650meter boardwalk rose slightly higher from the mud flat beach and it is best enjoyed during sunset. Before you start imagining that the sand here is the likes of Cenang Beach or those in Redang Island, well… the answer is no, Dadaepo Beach is basically a mud flat. Worry not, some say it is good for skin.


This boardwalk is unique in the sense that they built cool looking gazebos and each one looks different. The 2 floor gazebo gives you an aerial view of the beach and street, I thought that’s pretty cool.

The great thing is that the amenities here is well equipped, there’s obviously parking spaces, shower/changing room, drinking fountain and foot-washing station. They even have basketball court and beach soccer field, how cool is that.


You can also catch the Dadaepo Sunset Fountain of Dream’s Musical Show, said to be the largest dancing fountains in the world. The "Fountain of Dream" operates from April to October.

There’s plenty of things to see and experience in Busan, I shall cover other areas in my future post.
