📝 1. Overview
Located at the western tip of Haeundae Beach, Dongbaekseom Island (동백섬) is a forested seaside park that feels like a natural escape within the city. Though technically a peninsula now, the island atmosphere remains — with scenic walking trails, pine trees, art installations, and sweeping views of Busan’s Marine City skyline and Gwangan Bridge. It’s perfect for an easy stroll, a romantic sunset, or quiet reflection along the coast.
