While the summer bookend months of June and September are the best times to enjoy the beach with moderate crowds, July and August is when Haeundae explodes with upwards of 700,000 people swimming, lounging or shuffling along the boardwalk in the summer heat.
Nearby there are plenty of great restaurants and good backstreets leading off in all sorts of interesting directions.
To get there:
Take subway line 2 to Haeundae Station. It’s about a five-minute walk.
