Dadaepo Beach
다대포해수욕장
The beach at Busan's western end, where the Nakdong River meets the sea — wide flats and water so shallow you walk a long way out. It is the side of Busan the sun sets on, which is why people come; the Sunset Fountain of Dreams on its plaza, unlike the beach, rests on Mondays.
