Summer Season Begins!
Haeundae and Songjeong Beaches Now Open
Haeundae Beach and Songjeong Beach opened on June 1. During the month of June, Haeundae Beach is only partially open in the 300 meters between the Tourist Information Center and the Event Plaza, and Songjeong Beach is only available along 150 meters in front of the Tourist In-formation Center, and the permitted sea swimming times are from 9am to 6pm.
Safety facilities such as lifeguard towers and buoys have been installed, and lifeguards are on duty to ensure the safety of vacationers.
From this year, visitors can check the availability of the beach according to weather conditions on the Haeundae-gu website (www.haeundae.go.kr). Following the partial opening in June, the beach will be fully open for the months of July and August.
What's New at the Beach this Year?
Standardized payment for beach equipment rental
Haeundae-gu operates its own payment system for beach equipment rental. It will be regulated and standardized for payment prices and Haeundae will reinvest the rental revenue into beach facility maintenance and programs for vacationers.
Relax in the 'Beach Cabana'
In July and August, Beach Cabana, an 8-meter-long awning-shaped shade structure, will be installed on the pedestrian path in front of the Haeundae Beach Tourist Information Center.
Enhanced guest safety
There will be different colored lifeguard towers to make it easier to identify their location in an emergency.
To ensure the safety of visitors, 100 civilian lifeguards have been recruited and more night patrols and early morning safety officers have been added.
Summer leisure by the sea 'Promotion Zone'
The Haeundae Beach Promotion Zone will be in operation for the first time this year and is a 150-meter section of white sand. During the months of July and August, the zone will feature a variety of attractions and activities such as photo zones, game experience zones, beach film festivals, and muscle zones, as well as resting areas such as shaded areas for visitors to relax at.
Improvement of the foot-washing facilities
The three footbaths in front of the public restrooms have been converted from water pools to running water so that visitors can wash their feet easier and more efficiently.
Songjeong Surf Zone: 250 meters again this year
Following last year's success, Songjeong Beach's surfing section will once again be 250 meters in length. This will be in operation during the full opening of the beach in July and August, and surfboards will not be allowed outside of this area.
