Gwangalli Beach광안리해수욕장

At a glance

Gwangalli is a soft-sand beach in Suyeong-gu with Gwangan Bridge stretched across the bay in front of it: a sea view by day and a lit-up bridge by night. Summer brings swimming, surfing and paddleboarding, and the waterfront is lined with cafes and restaurants all year. Concerts, festivals and drone shows are held on the beach, and it's easy to reach by public transport from the city center.
