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.
