Haeundae is the country’s most famous beach. During the peak August travel season, umbrellas mushroom across the 2km-long beach while frolickers fill the water with inner tubes rented from booths behind the beach. It’s a fun family outing with 100,000 friends, though the marketing material portraying Haeundae as a world-class resort is bunkum.
