About this place

Dongbaekseom was once an island before being joined to the mainland at Haeundae. Today it's known for its camellia blooms and peaceful coastal paths lined with pine trees. The white lighthouse, mermaid statue and Nurimaru APEC House are the main attractions worth seeing. A pleasant spot to visit for a leisurely walk along the shoreline.
