[2025 Busan Attraction] Travel Guide for Ilgwang Beach (Updated Jul)

#summervacay Ilgwang Beach (일광해수욕장) in Busan offers a delightful escape to a more tranquil and locally-favored seaside experience, providing a refreshing contrast to the city's larger, more bustling beaches. Located in Gijang-gun, it's known for its serene atmosphere, gentle waves, and a growing array of charming cafes. Ilgwang Beach boasts a clean, relatively quiet stretch of sand, making it an ideal spot for families, couples, or anyone seeking a peaceful day by the sea. The waters are typically calm and shallow, perfect for relaxed swimming and safe for children to play. Unlike some of Busan's more vibrant beaches, Ilgwang maintains a laid-back ambiance, inviting visitors to unwind and enjoy the natural surroundings without excessive crowds. What truly enhances the experience at Ilgwang Beach is the blossoming cafe scene along its coastline. Numerous aesthetically pleasing cafes, many with ocean views, have opened up, offering a perfect spot to enjoy a coffee, a sweet treat, or a light meal while gazing at the horizon. This blend of natural beauty and modern cafe culture makes it a popular destination for those looking for a relaxed outing. The area around Ilgwang Beach also features pleasant walking paths, allowing for leisurely strolls along the shore. Depending on the season, you might see local fishermen, adding to the authentic coastal charm. While it doesn't have major theme park attractions, its appeal lies in its simplicity and the opportunity for genuine relaxation. #seascapes #beachlife

Jeju Dol Dam Kalguksu Ilgwangjeom is a restaurant with a clean atmosphere that I discovered while traveling in Busan. I ordered Maesaengi Kalguksu and Meat Kalguksu, which have a harmony of warm broth and chewy noodles. Both menus had a rich broth that made me feel like I was relieving all the fatigue from traveling. In particular, Maesaengi Kalguksu had an impressive subtle ocean scent, and Meat Kalguksu had a deep broth flavor. The kimchi and stir-fried fish cakes served as side dishes were also clean and delicious, and went well with the Kalguksu. The interior was bright and pleasant, making it a great place to enjoy a comfortable meal. I would recommend this place to families and travelers. It is also close to Ilgwang Station, so it is a good place to stop by after sightseeing, and it is perfect for filling up your trip with a hearty meal. #Domestic travel #Ilgwang Beach #Jeju Dol Dam Kalguksu #Meat Kalguksu
