Hamdeok Beach
plan to spend some time exploring the nearby cafes. i stumbled upon a cute one right by the beach that served the best iced coffee and it was way cheaper than those big chains!
If you love photo ops, come just before sunset around 6:30 PM... The beach looks magical and you'll avoid the crowd while getting the best lighting for photos
Don’t forget the sunscreen, but also bring a hat! There’s a good amount of shade, but I still got sunburned because I underestimated the midday sun.
Manjanggul Cave
Jeonbang Waterfall
If you want to kick back and enjoy the view, bring a small snack and a light blanket. I saw some folks chilling out and it looked super relaxing.
I suggest visiting Jeonbang Waterfall in the morning, around 9 AM, to avoid the crowds and catch some stunning early light for photos. Trust me, it's a way better vibe.
Garden of Morning Calm
If you're into photography, try to go around 4 PM for the best natural light. I missed it and the photos turned out pretty dull!
My tip would be to wear comfortable shoes; there’s a lot of walking involved and some areas might be a bit rugged.
I recommend bringing a picnic! There are lovely spots to relax, and the food in the cafe was okay but a bit pricey for what you get.
Haeundae
I recommend hitting the beach early around 8 AM to snag the best spots. It gets crowded fast, especially on weekends. Plus, you'll enjoy the calm vibe before all the fun starts.
Seokguram Grotto
Seongsan Ilchulbong
Yondusan
I think it's a good idea to grab a coffee from one of the local vendors before heading up, as it gives you a nice treat while you admire the view.
I suggest visiting late afternoon, around 5 PM, to catch the sunset; it turns the whole area into a gorgeous orange glow. Plus, it tends to be less crowded at that hour.
