Getting there

About

Songdo Beach — Korea's first public beach — hosts this tribute to the national fish since 2008. Busan lands 90 percent of Korea's mackerel, and the festival leans in: bare-hand mackerel catching, surprise auctions, kayak fishing games, paper-boat races, and a big seafood market by the cable car.

Description translated from official Korean tourism data. Details can change — verify with the organizer before you go.
