When Departing from Seoul
Choose your transport hub first: Busan Station → the Haeundae and Songjeong areas
After a high-speed train from Seoul Station to Busan Station, compare approaches to Haeundae by transferring from Line 1 to Line 2 at Seomyeon, and to Songjeong by walking from Bujeon Station on Line 1 to Bujeon Station on the Donghae Line and continuing to Songjeong Station.
First plan how to get from your accommodation to the actual departure station or terminal. For trains, check the departure and arrival stations and whether transfers are needed. For buses, choose the exact terminal as well as the destination city. Seoul, Yongsan, Cheongnyangni and Suseo are different stations.
Travel to Each Place’s Entrance
Places in the same selected group do not necessarily share entrances, tickets or opening hours. The options below explain how to reach each place you choose; they are not an itinerary for visiting every place in order.
Haeundae Beach
- 01
Suggested Access Based on Location · Check Directions Before Departure
Busan Station → Haeundae Station → Haeundae Beach
Metro transfer and walk
This suggested approach chooses a beach access point based on Haeundae Station on Line 2.
Songjeong Beach
- 01
Suggested Access Based on Location · Check Directions Before Departure
Busan Station → Songjeong Station, Donghae Line → Songjeong Beach
Rail transfer and walk or local vehicle
Add the walk between Songjeong Station and the beach, and do not confuse a sightseeing train stop with the regular railway station.
Map links search for locations by name. They are not directions checked for exact entrance coordinates or actual services on your travel date. Enter your departure point, destination and chosen transport in a map app to check the route again.
Prepare for Booking, Access Restrictions and the Final Leg
- Allow separate travel time if visiting both beaches. Swimming-season opening and beach walks have different conditions.
For sections using taxis or booked vehicles, discuss round-trip availability, pickup locations and charges such as waiting fees and tolls with the provider before departure. A vehicle is not guaranteed to be immediately available outside railway stations or at remote attractions. If you choose local buses, check the exact stops, direction and return services too.
Plan Your Return to Seoul First
First decide how to return from your last attraction to the transport hubs listed as “Busan Station → the Haeundae and Songjeong areas”. If you leave through a different gate, port or trail from the one you entered, check again whether you can use the same vehicle pickup point.
- Allow time to reach the actual pickup location after sightseeing, descending from a hike or disembarking.
- Make separate arrangements for local buses or booked vehicles and your long-distance return journey. If tickets are sold out, compare other services or an overnight stay.
- Check whether subway or bus connections to your accommodation will still be running after you arrive in Seoul.
When your day includes a boat trip, hike or evening visit, leave a buffer before plans that are difficult to change, such as an international flight the next day.
