Haeundae Beach Extends Opening Period Until September 15th

Haeundae Beach in Busan has extended its opening period until September 15th, responding to the prolonged late summer heat and an increase in September vacationers. This extension contrasts with other Busan beaches, which officially close on August 31st, making Haeundae a key destination for those looking to enjoy the sea in September.

The beach operates from June 26th to September 15th, with daily hours from 9 AM to 6 PM. While rental services for parasols and tubes conclude on August 31st, shower facilities remain available until September 15th, costing 1,000 KRW per 60 seconds. Lifeguards are fully stationed until the extended closing date, ensuring visitor safety.

Bloggers noted that visiting in September allowed for a less crowded experience compared to peak season, with the weather still warm enough for beach activities. They recommend Haeundae Beach for September visits, emphasizing the safety concerns and lack of amenities at other beaches after their official closing dates, such as the absence of lifeguards and unavailable facilities.
