Gwangalli faces Gwangan Bridge across a broad bay. A waterfront stroll, an evening by the bridge lights and a paddleboard session use the same beach in different ways.

The beachfront and bridge view

Start at Gwangalli Beach promenade 광안리해수욕장

Walk beside the sand with the bridge in front of you, then stop at a seafront café or continue along the bay. Choose an evening visit for the illuminated bridge and the lights along the waterfront.
