Fall in Busan hits differently. October and November? Chef’s kiss. The air’s cooler, the crowds aren’t wild, and that sticky summer humidity? Gone. Strolling by Gwangalli Beach at night feels like a whole vibe. And if you time it right, you’ll catch the iconic Saturday night drone show—2,000 drones lighting up the sky, right over the ocean.

Drone Show Schedule Every Saturday

Got plans for November 9th? That’s when the Busan Fireworks Festival pops off. Some zones need tickets, so grab yours early on KKday to lock in a good spot.

Drone Show Schedule Every Saturday
Spring/Summer (March–Sept): 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM
Fall/Winter (Oct–Feb): 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM

Korean Food Guide

All Sunday Bagel

If you’re kicking off your day in Gwangalli, swing by All Sunday Bagel, a fan favorite. It’s always packed, so roll up early. There’s a bagel for every mood, from savory flavors like cheese jalapeño, potato cheese, and basil, to sweet ones like honey butter and sesame. Pro tip? Get that cream cheese spread. Game changer.

Nasari Sikdang (나사리식당)

This is the spot for seaside comfort food. Think crispy seafood pancakes and hearty seafood kalguksu noodles with a killer beach view. From bright skies to sunset, the vibes are immaculate. Want a window seat? Go in a pair—especially couples—you’re more likely to get that front-row view.

Juwokgateun Insaeng (주옥같은인생)

Night’s in full swing, and it’s time for drinks. Try their honeycomb makgeolli—it’s that sweet, cloudy rice wine with an actual chunk of honeycomb tossed in. Smooth, sweet, and way too easy to sip. Pair it with kimchi stew, fried ribs, or their signature injeolmi shaved ice. This place turns into a party real quick—don’t be surprised if strangers start singing Happy Birthday to someone.

Baro Haejang (바로해장)

If you went a little hard last night, this is your recovery spot. Their beef soup (not your typical pork version) is loaded with thick cuts of beef and ox blood—super filling and perfect post-drink fuel. Rich, meaty, and straight-up soul-soothing.

Onbap (온밥 광안점)

Traveling solo? No stress. Onbap is one of those rare Korean spots where eating alone is totally chill. The grilled mackerel set comes with a ton of solid side dishes—no corners cut. Sit at the counter, enjoy your meal, and soak up that cozy solo-diner vibe.

Haeundae 31cm Seafood Kalguksu

Don’t let the simple broth fool you. This seafood noodle soup is stacked with clams, mussels, and scallops—so much so that you barely see the noodles. The soup’s sweet from all the fresh shellfish, and the noodles got that perfect bite. Whether you love seafood or just miss Taiwanese-style noodle soup, this one hits the spot.
