Busan Songdo Beach (부산 송도해수욕장)

Introduction
Located a mere 3 km from downtown Busan, Songdo Beach is a popular escape for the area's city dwellers each summer. Opened in 1913 as Korea's first official beach, the beach was named "Songdo" (meaning Pine Island) in reference to its bordering groves of pine trees. The beach began to gain popularity in the 1960s for its graceful coastlines, but was damaged by frequent hurricanes and subsequent sand loss. Starting in 2000, the beach underwent a comprehensive 5-year reconstruction and reopened with restored and expanded coastlines and the addition of several fountains.
Songdo Beach is particularly beloved for its romantic summer night view and as host of the popular Busan Sea Festival and spirited Hyeonin Singing Festival. Nearby attractions included Busan's famed Jagalchi Seafood Market and Amnam Park.
