Songdo Beach is 800 meters long and 50 meters wide. The average water level is 1~1.5 meters. It was one of the first beaches to open in Korea in 1913. In 2000, the beach underwent a comprehensive 5-year reconstruction and reopened with restored and expanded coastlines and the addition of several fountains. Nearby attractions include Busan’s famed Jagalchi Seafood Market and Amnam Park. Amnam Park was a military protected area that opened to the public as a nature park in April 1996. Amnam Park, as well as Dudo Park, a famous sea fishing spot, connects to Songdo, where visitors can see a spectacular landscape with seagulls, a symbol of busan, and the quiet seascape with Yeongdo Island in the distance.

The area has a variety of accommodation and dining options, and is well equipped with convenience facilities such as an overpass, promenade, boat yard, and parking lot. Amnam Park on the Songdo coast is a coastal ecological park. It has an observatory, a 3.8-kilometer promenade, a roadside cafe, and raw fish restaurants with a panoramic view of the Songdo coast and Busan Namhang Port. Another historically important attraction in the area is the Provisional Capital Memorial Hall that was used as the presidential residence for three years when Busan was the temporary capital during the Korean War.

Amnam-Park (암남공원)

5.9Km    2025-07-18

Die großartigen Aussichten auf die prächtigen Klippen und die mit Bäumen gesäumte Küste vom Amnam-Park lassen das blau-grüne Wasser mit der bewaldeten Landschaft verschmelzen.
Nach der Erklärung zum Schutzgebiet war der Zutritt zu diesem Gebiet verboten, bis es schließlich 1996 wieder der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht wurde, und Besucher zum ersten Mal die unberührte Landschaft erleben konnten.
Im Park kann man heute angeln, ein Observatorium besuchen und sich an Spazierwegen und einer erhabenen Brücke erfreuen. Die Fülle an Pinien entlang der Wege machen es zu einem angenehmen Spaziergang; auf dem Weg hinauf zum Observatorium bietet dieses gut beforstete Gebiet großartige Aussichten. Wenn Sie angeln möchten, können Sie dies auf dem Meer oder von den fantastisch geformten Felsen aus tun.
Es gibt eine berühmte Straße vom Songdo-Strand zum Amnam-Park, die beliebt ist für sehr gemütliche Fahrten. Die Fahrt dauert etwa 5 min., wenn Sie zu Fuß gehen wollen, brauchen Sie etwa 20 Minuten.
