3. The Overall Scenery

Once the beach train departs from Mipo, it quickly enters Dalmaji Tunnel, a filming location for popular dramas. Catching the sunset here feels like stepping into a movie scene.

Through the glass windows facing the sea, breathtaking views unfold, sure to stir emotions. For an even more romantic experience, consider the Sky Capsule. Since it runs at a higher altitude, it offers a panoramic view of the coastline.

The Haewol Observatory adds a thrilling touch on its own, but the walkway that starts here is perfect for a leisurely seaside stroll.

Among all the spots in Haeundae Blueline Park, Cheongsapo Station is hands-down the most popular. Tourists flock here to take "life-shot" photos with the railroad crossing and trains in the background. The scenery here strongly resembles scenes from Slam Dunk, making it a hot photo zone.

At Daritdol Observatory, you can look straight down at the sea through the glass floor. It’s slightly nerve-wracking but offers a stunning view, which is why many visitors pause to snap photos.

As the train moves past Gudeokpo and Songjeong Stations, the scenery becomes even more lively. The surfing zone at Songjeong Beach truly brings out that quintessential summer vibe.

Sitting quietly inside the train while taking in those views lets you soak in the seasonal atmosphere.

Each station is connected by wooden deck paths. These paths are very popular for walking or jogging. If you have time, it’s worth exploring on foot.

4. Travel Tips

If you want the best seats on the Haeundae Blueline Park train, line up early at the departure station in Mipo. The front row seats offer the best view, so try to sit up front if possible.

Note that the Sky Capsule is equipped only with fans, not air conditioning, whereas the beach train does have air conditioning. So, it may be more comfortable to ride the capsule early in the morning or later in the evening.
