4. Visiting Tips

Peak July-August for festivals, off-season for serenity; arrive post-4 PM weekdays to catch sunset and avoid crowds—weekend capsules queue 45 minutes. Wear flip-flops, rash guards, sunscreen; pair with Millak-dong sashimi or Haeundae Market hogao-gukbap. Wide-angle drones capture light trails over Gwangan Bridge; winter packs windbreakers as sea breezes chill to 5°C.
