Cheongsapo Daritdol Observatory is a free seaside skywalk stretching over the water at the edge of Cheongsapo fishing village in Haeundae, Busan. Opened in 2017 and expanded in 2024 into a U-shaped, 191 m walkway (3 m wide, about 20 m above the sea), it is shaped like the blue dragon said to guard the village. A half-moon glass floor at the far end lets you look straight down at the sea while taking in sunrises, sunsets, five 'daritdol' stepping-stone reefs, and an offshore lighthouse.
Highlights
Half-moon transparent glass floor at the tip for the thrill of standing directly over the open sea

An east-facing horizon prized for both sunrise and sunset photography
Easy access via the Haeundae Blue Line Park beach train, stopping right at the observatory
Free admission, open year-round except when weather forces a closure
