This festival takes place at Busan’s beautiful Haeundae Beach, where everyone wishes to go for their summer holidays.
The festival’s program is full of events inspired by the beach’s beautiful white sand. A highlight is a hot sand bath, where visitors are buried from head to toe in sand, which is beneficial for health and beauty. Other events include a beach volleyball competition, an exhibition of different types of sand from around the world, and a marathon race.
The festival continues into the night with spectacular fireworks displays, concerts, and other entertainment events.
In addition, popular tourist destinations such as the Jagalchi Market, Gwangalli, and Taejongdae are all located nearby, another great attraction is Busan’s extremely fresh raw fish offered at incredibly low prices.
