Walking Moontan Road Past Haeundae

Walk with the sea of Haeundae on your right and take in the sky, the ocean, and the grandeur of high-rise buildings. Haeundae Dalmaji-gil is guided by a dense pine forest, and once you descend the dizzying hill, the blue sea of Songjeong beckons. This course lets you enjoy a cup of tea at a road cafe on Songjeong Beach and walk all the way to Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, perched on a cliff by the sea.
