Ilgwang Beach

일광해수욕장

Gijang, Busan · 부산

A small curved bay north of Gijang with a working fishing harbour at one end, a strip of low-rise cafés along the front and almost no hotels.

Why it’s worth it

Twenty minutes past Haeundae on the Donghae line and a completely different volume of people. Best in the shoulder seasons, when it is nearly empty.
