Busan has plenty of coastal spots worth exploring, but Cheongsapo stands out for its combination of ocean views, skywalks, and a charming railway scene. It’s a quieter alternative to the busier beaches, making it a nice place to spend a few hours.

I visited Cheongsapo after stopping by Haedong Yonggungsa Temple and found it to be a refreshing change of pace. With the sea breeze, open walkways, and a mix of small attractions, it’s the kind of spot that’s better enjoyed slowly rather than rushing through.
How to Get to Cheongsapo
Cheongsapo is accessible by public transportation, and I got there by bus since I was coming from Haedong Yonggungsa Temple. Navigating was easy with Naver Map, and as usual, I just tapped my T-money card when boarding. A Rail+ card also works if you have one.

Another fun way to reach Cheongsapo is through the Blueline Park Sky Capsule from Mipo Station or the Beach Train, which stops at Mipo, Gudeokpo, and Songjeong. After exploring Cheongsapo, I actually took the Beach Train back to Mipo, which made for a scenic and relaxing ride.
What to See in Cheongsapo
The first thing that stands out in Cheongsapo is the ocean view. There’s a walkway along the coast where you can take in the sea breeze and watch the waves crash against the shore. The area is also home to the Cheongsapo lighthouse, which makes a nice backdrop for photos as you stroll.

One of the most popular photo spots here is the view of the Beach Train. People literally wait along the tracks for the train to pass just so they can capture a shot of it against the ocean. It’s a bit funny to watch, but I’ll admit the scene really is picture-perfect.
Cheongsapo also has a mural village, though I found it underwhelming. There were only a couple of houses with murals, so it didn’t feel like a major highlight. What did make the walk worthwhile, though, was the nice view of the Sky Capsule gliding above, which added a splash of color to the coastal scenery.

Additionally, the area is lined with cafes and restaurants, many of them perched right by the water. It’s a great way to enjoy a meal or coffee while still taking in the ocean views. I stopped by Liberta Café, which I’ll write about separately, and it turned out to be a perfect spot for both the scenery and something savory with my iced coffee.

Another highlight is the Cheongsapo Daritdol Skywalk, a glass bridge that stretches out over the water. It’s a free attraction and walking along it gives you the feeling of hovering above the ocean, with waves rolling beneath your feet. It’s short but fun, and combined with the coastal walk, it rounds out the Cheongsapo experience nicely.
Visiting Cheongsapo was a relaxing stop during my day in Busan. While the mural village was nothing special, the coastal walk, lighthouse, train views, and skywalk made it worth the visit. If you’re already exploring nearby attractions like Haedong Yonggungsa or riding the Blueline Park trains, adding Cheongsapo to your itinerary is an easy and enjoyable choice.
