A 1.4-kilometre sandy beach in eastern Busan, Gwangalli is defined by its nocturnal skyline — the illuminated Gwangan Bridge arcs across the bay in the middle distance, creating a blue-lit reflection across the water that makes after-dark photography particularly rewarding. A dense strip of cafes and bars along the beach road sustains a lively evening atmosphere year-round.
