Plan your visit

Open sand, a marsh boardwalk or the wooded headland?

Dadaepo combines the sandy shore at the Nakdong River estuary with reeds and the Molundae headland. Choose the part of the coast you want to explore before setting out from the metro.

  • Wide sand and evening light

    The west beach at sunset

    Start at Dadaepo Beach Park and the west beach 다대포해변공원

    Use the park entrance for the west beach and its open view across the sea. The broad shore is the main choice for watching the light change at sunset, with the park paths beside the sand.

    Metro directions to the west beach

  • Reeds and estuary scenery

    Gowooni Ecological Trail

    Start at Gowooni Ecological Trail by Dadaepo Beach 고우니생태길

    Choose the wooden boardwalk for a view of the marsh vegetation and tidal landscape. It gives a different perspective from the open beach, keeping your walk above the wetland.

  • Pines and coastal rock

    Continue towards Molundae

    Start at Molundae entrance 몰운대

    Plan a separate walk into the wooded headland for coastal rock scenery and the western sunset lookout. Choose this when the forest and headland are part of your day, and use the district's guide to pick the section you want to walk.
