Introduction

Dongbaekseom (동백섬, meaning 'Camellia Island') is a small islet at the south end of Haeundae Beach in Busan, Korea, now joined to the mainland by reclamation and a wooded seaside park. Planted with camellias, it blazes with red blooms in winter and spring; the circular trail overlooks Haeundae's white sand, the Gwangan Bridge and the blue sea. On the sea cliff stands a 'Mermaid Statue' commemorating a love story tied to Haeundae legend — a popular photo spot. The island also hosts cultural events like the Haeundae Dongbaek Island Festival; at dusk lights meet the sea, making it one of Busan's signature urban-coast strolls.
