📝 1. Overview
Tucked at the west end of Haeundae Beach, Dongbaekseom Island offers a peaceful escape from the city buzz — with pine forests, rocky coastlines, and one of the best walking trails in Busan. Despite being connected to the mainland, it still feels like a little island world. Add in the elegant Nurimaru APEC House, stunning ocean viewpoints, and local legends of mermaids, and you’ve got a quiet coastal gem with deep soul.
