Osiria coast — Busan Tourism Archive (부산관광아카이브) · KOGL Type 1
The east side of Haeundae is not reached by the subway, so the confusing part is where to get off and what to change to. This guide lays out the order from Songjeong Beach to Osiria, Haedong Yonggungsa Temple and Orangdae Park by station, bus and walking distance.
As of October 20, 2026 — check operating hours, closing days and bus numbers on the official sites again before you visit.

Songjeong Beach is counted with Haeundae and Gwangalli as one of the three big beaches of eastern Busan. The sand is wide, 1.2 km long and 57 m wide, and the water is shallow with a gentle slope, so many families come. Today it is even better known as a sea for surfing in every season.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Surfing | The beach is where the East Sea meets the South Sea, so it gets both north and south winds and waves roll in all year. There are surf shops and surf schools around the beach, so you can learn step by step from beginner to advanced. You can also try other water sports such as paddleboarding here. |
| Sunset | In the afternoon the waves get bigger and the surfing looks exhilarating. Watching surfers on a sea dyed in sunset colors is one of the signature views of Songjeong. |
| Jukdo Park (죽도공원) and Songiljeong (송일정) | Jukdo Park at the end of the beach got its name Jukdo ("bamboo island") because of its many bamboo. If you walk the path along the coast, you reach Songiljeong, a pavilion known as a place to watch the sunrise and sunset from right beside the sea. |
| Every season | This is not a beach that only fills up in summer. In the off-season the blue sea and wide sand are quiet and peaceful, and it is nice to walk on the sand. |
| Admission | Free, open all year |
| Address | 62 Songjeonghaebyeon-ro, Haeundae-gu, Busan (부산 해운대구 송정해변로 62) |
| How to get there | See the table in Getting east from Haeundae above. |
The swimming season is set and announced each year by the Haeundae-gu Office (해운대구청). Outside the season you can still walk on the beach, but you cannot go into the water from 30 minutes after sunset until 30 minutes before sunrise.
In front of Osiria Station (오시리아역) on the Donghae Line you find Lotte World Adventure Busan (롯데월드 어드벤처 부산), Lotte Mall Dongbusan (롯데몰 동부산점) (the Lotte Premium Outlets Dongbusan branch) and IKEA Dongbusan, so shopping and amusement rides are the main draw. Skyline Luge Busan is also close to Lotte World.

| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| What it is | An outlet shopping mall by the sea, with a restaurant area and cafes. |

If you include Lotte World Adventure Busan, it takes up much of the day, so it is easier to visit Yonggungsa Temple and Orangdae on another day.
Haedong Yonggungsa is a temple built not on a mountain but on rocks by the sea. Most temples in Korea are in the mountains, so it is especially popular with foreign visitors. Together with Naksansa in Yangyang and Boriam in Namhae, it is counted as one of the three great Gwaneum (Avalokiteshvara) holy sites.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Address | 86 Yonggung-gil, Gijang-eup, Gijang-gun, Busan (부산 기장군 기장읍 용궁길 86) |
| Admission | Free, open all year |
| Hours | 04:30–19:20, with entry until 18:50. This may change with the season or circumstances. |
| Walking route | From the entrance you walk down 108 steps to the hall by the sea. On the way out you climb back up the same way. There are also rocky sections, so low-heeled shoes are more comfortable. |
| From Haeundae Station | From the stop in front of Exit 7, take Bus 100 or Bus 181 (about 55 min, about 1,600 won) and get off at the Yonggungsa Temple / National Institute of Fisheries Science stop (용궁사·국립수산과학원). |
| From Osiria Station | Exit 1 → Bus A02 → get off at the Yonggungsa Temple / National Institute of Fisheries Science stop (용궁사·국립수산과학원) → turn right and walk about 15 min |
| Parking | The parking lot in front of the temple is paid and is not run by the temple. |
You have to walk from the bus stop to the temple. It is less crowded early in the morning, so it works well to put the temple first in the day's route.
Orangdae Park is a rocky coastal park on the Gijang-gun shore. On the rocks stands the Yongwangdan (용왕단), a shrine where people pray for the safety of fishermen, and the park is known as a sunrise spot. The park has no closing time and is always open. The rock path at Orangdae is uneven, so walk carefully.
| How to get there | Details |
|---|---|
| From Haeundae Station | From the stop in front of Exit 7, Bus 100 or Bus 181 (about 55 min, about 1,600 won) |
| From Osiria Station | Exit 1 → Bus A02 → get off at the Dongam Hu-mun stop (동암후문) → turn right after about 150 m → keep the Ananti hotel on your left and follow the coastal walking path |
| Time of day | What to do |
|---|---|
| Morning | Get off at Songjeong Station (송정역), walk along Songjeong Beach, then to Jukdo Park (about 17 min on foot from the station plus the beach) |
| Midday | Take the Donghae Line one stop from Songjeong Station to Osiria Station, then lunch and shopping at Lotte Mall Dongbusan (7–10 min on foot from the station) |
| Afternoon | Bus A02 from Osiria Station Exit 1 → Yonggungsa Temple (108 steps) |
| Before sunset | Bus A02 or the coastal walking path to Orangdae Park |
If you want to see the sunrise, reverse the order and go to Orangdae and Yonggungsa Temple first in the morning. The temple opens at 4:30 a.m. Bus times differ by route, but Bus 181 has its first bus at 5:00 a.m. and its last bus at 10:00 p.m. from the terminus. Assume the other buses run in about the same hours. On the day you go to Lotte World Adventure Busan, spend the whole day around Osiria Station instead of following the order above, and visit Yonggungsa Temple on another morning.
| What is confusing | Answer |
|---|---|
| Haeundae Station and Sinhaeundae Station | Haeundae Station (해운대역) is on Line 2 and Sinhaeundae Station (신해운대역) is on the Donghae Line. You cannot take the Donghae Line from Haeundae Station. Take the Donghae Line by transferring from Line 2 at Bexco Station (벡스코역), or go straight to a Donghae Line station. |
| Several bus numbers | For Haedong Yonggungsa Temple and Orangdae Park it is Bus 100 and Bus 181; for Songjeong Beach it is Bus 39, 63, 100, 141 and 181. Numbers and stop names can change, so check once more before you set out in the Naver Map app or the KakaoMap app. |
