From Haeundae up the East coast

Click to see route

One of my favourite rides in Busan, is from Haeundae up the East coast in the direction of Ulsan.  Scroll down for some pictures and a detailed google map of the route.
DISTANCE: 85 - 95km

---

Reasons why this is a great ride:

• It's all along the coast, the sea, beaches etc.
  
• The coastal road is not as traffic heavy.
  
• Some parts of the road is brand new and a dream to cruise.
  
• It's never boring.
  
• Lots of interesting little towns, coffee shops, restaurants etc.
  
• It's not crowded by other cyclists.
  
• You can cycle up the coast as far as you want before turning back.

At the same time also be aware of the following:

• It starts and ends (if you return the same way) with Dalmaji hill.
  
• The ride is "flatish" but there are some gradual up and downs that will make you sweat.
  
• There's not really any cycling road, some parts there's no shoulder next to the road and you sometimes go on busy roads with buses.

Sights to see:

• Dream Chapel/Church: A European style chapel with a lighthouse behind it.
  
• Ganjeolgot: A touristy sunrise lookout point with a huge red post-box for lovers and some drama sets from famous Korean dramas.
  
• Beaches: Jinha and some other smaller beaches along the way.
