Korean Beaches

For the past couple of weekends, we've been trying out some of Korea's beaches and enjoying the nice Spring weather.

Haeundae Beach- Busan
Last Sunday, we went an hour south into Busan's Haeundae Beach with our coworker Dan. The beach was really nice and reminded us of Ft. Lauderdale. Along the beach, they have an Outback, TGI Fridays, Starbucks, Bennigans, Dunkin Donuts, Papa Johns, Baskin Robins and KFC! It was unbelievable! We ate lunch at Fridays, which was incredibly expensive, but good.

Having a drink on the beach.

The beach is actually a cove and is quite small for being the most popular beach in S. Korea, only a mile long. The town in the distance on the mountain was really beautiful.

Large apartments and hotels are along the shore...pretty upscale and very Western.

Jujeon Black Pebble Beach- Ulsan
Yesterday we went with Ramin, Tahereh, and John to check out another beach. Jujeon's shore has no sand, it is completely covered with black rocks. It was pretty and unique, but made it difficult to lay out or walk along the beach.
Group shot!

John found a huge shell among all the rocks.
Fresh seaweed being dried before it's cooked in our food. Mmmmm, appetizing right?
