Igidae Coastal Trail

Incredible views, but moderate difficulty even in very good weather. Requires basic hiking or climbing skills if you are planning to attempt the whole trail, as there could be slippery paths or holes in the pavement of which if you fall you will tumble down a sharp incline onto the rocks and into the sea. Climbing gear such as hiking boots and nylon climbing pants should be the default, jungle hat is recommended too. All the locals have some form of gear with them, only tourists come under prepared. Supplies and meals should be brought along too if you want to attempt the whole trail and not tap out halfway, and as light of a load as possible.

Very nice trail for hike, but not an easy one. A lot of stairs and hills. The views are beautiful, trail easy to navigate, but no trash bins and only 1 WC.

오륙도~이기대 스카이워크까지 쭉 이어진 산책로이다. 절대 절대 만만히 보지 말기!! 오르막과 내리막이 생각보다 생각보다 많다. 쭉 걷는데 1시간~1시간 30분 정도 걸린다. 근데 바다와 산의 조화가 아름답다. 지금. 시기는 생각보다 벌레가 많으니, 벌리 싫어하면 지금 시기는 안 가는 것도 좋아보인다.(사람 많은 주말에 가거나) 날이 좋으면 멀리 일본 대마도가 보인다. 공사 중인 곳도 있으니 잘 보기!

Merece totalmente la pena. No es paseo, es ruta. Atención al calzado sobre todo. Recomendable hacerla DE SUR A NORTE (las vistas durante el trayecto son mucho mejores) Hay opción de ir por bosque o por costa pegado a las rocas directamente. También hay tramos de carretera con una acera más fácil si se prefiere, y paseo muy agradable. 2-3 horas parando para hacer fotos.

The views of the sea, through the trail route were wonderful. We chose the coastal route and enjoyed the fresh air and stunning ocean views. You should check the route carefully at the starting point to make sure you follow the right way, there is no details navigation instructions throughout the route.

완벽한 동해안 뷰. 탁 트인 푸른 바다와 바위, 그리고 저 멀리 보이는 화려한 해운대 스카이라인 조화가 멋짐. 가슴이 뻥~~~ 울창한 숲길과 나무가 우거진 길을 걷다 보면, 고층 아파트 단지와 자연이 공존하는 독특하고 이색적인 풍경을 만날 수 있음. 화사하게 피어난 자약꽃이 눈길을 끔 그리고 산책할 수준으로 간다면 절대 안 됨. 평탄한 동네 산책로가 아님. 가파른 계단, 흙길, 오르막이 반복되는 낮은 등산 정도. (대모산 정도)

Honestly, I thought the trail would be a breezy walk, but there are areas with quite a steep incline. We walked towards the skywalk, and the last stretch really made us work up a sweat. I did it in jeans without realising, so I’d definitely recommend wearing proper walking clothes. Overall, it’s still an easy trail. The path is clearly paved with good structure and boardwalks, and there are lookout points along the way, which was a nice touch. The views are great, and there were very few people around. Definitely worth the walk, a must-do in Busan.

A moderately easy hike. About 4km one way. It starts off very easy with some boardwalk but soon turns into more of a (well trodden) trail. Some uneven surfaces and multiple stairs to be expected. Expect to take about 2hrs depending on fitness levels.

絶景の連続！挑戦しがいのある海岸トレイルコース 五六島スカイウォークを楽しんだ後、そのまま「이기대 해안산책로（イギデ海岸散策路）」の散策を開始しました。 海岸沿いに整備されたトレイルコースで、景色は本当に素晴らしかったです！青い海と岩場のコントラストが美しく、歩きながら釜山の壮大な自然を存分に感じることができました。 ただ、正直なところ、コースはアップダウンが多く、かなり長丁場だったので少しきつかったです（笑）。運動靴を履いていくことを強くおすすめします。 しかし、その疲れを忘れさせてくれるほどの絶景が続き、海からの心地よい風を浴びながら歩くのは最高に気持ちが良かったです。彼女と励まし合いながら完歩したことで、達成感もひとしおでした。 体力に自信のある方や、釜山の美しい海岸線をじっくりと楽しみたい方には、非常におすすめできるコースです！

오륙도에서 동생말쪽 방향으로 가시는게 더 나을 듯해요. 생수랑 등산용신발 챙겨가세요. 저는 2시간 걸렸어요. 걷는 내내 파도소리를 들어서 좋았어요.

부산 이기대공원에서 시작하는 해안 산책로는 지질공원의 특색있는 바위와 파도의 조화로 너무 좋았어요.

This trail is a highlight and we enjoyed walking it immensely. The only day we had available for this was excessively hot, which made it a challenge so we started at the southern end and walked North to get the steepest climbs out of the way early. Obviously carry water and consider that the 170m of elevation gain includes many many stairs. If you need to exit the trail there is a point about half way along where a short flight of 20-25 stairs leads you up to the roadway. THIS IS NOT VISIBLE ON GOOGLE MAPS. So you will need to use Naver maps and consider an app like Pocket Earth also.

Awesome experience/walk. A few tough stairs BUT the visual rewards are next level. If you are in Busan and don't go here you are nuts

The Igidae Coastal Trail was more challenging than I expected—but in the best way. The path winds along cliffs, wooden stairways, and rocky sections that definitely kept my legs working, but every bit of effort was rewarded with incredible ocean views. The contrast of turquoise water, dramatic rock formations, and the skyline in the distance made the whole hike feel unforgettable. What I loved most is that it never felt too long or too short—it was the perfect length for a satisfying workout without being overwhelming. By the end, we felt accomplished, refreshed, and genuinely amazed by how scenic the trail was from start to finish. If you’re looking for a gorgeous coastal hike that keeps things interesting but still feels totally doable, Igidae is a must. Perfect way to spend a few hours in Busan!

부산에 살지만 이렇게 아름다운 곳은 왜 이제알았을까...🥹👍🏻너무 아름다운 곳이었어요. 시드니에 맨리비치 느낌도 나서 정말 좋았어요. 솔직히 힘들었지만 충분히 올만한 가치가 있었던곳

야경보기 좋다. 하지만 주차가 어려웠다. 속도 30km. 처음 가본 길이라 강력히 추천하기는 어렵다. 날씨 좋을때 ㅡ 연인과 데이트 코스로는 좋아보인다.

Fun hike. Moderate fitness level. Really beautiful view. Lots of parts in the forest, good on a sunny day. Also some options to cut the walk short - check on Naver because there are no signs.

The views are beautiful and on a nice day you can actually see Tsushima Island (Japan). The trail runs from point to point and includes several climbs (stairs). Along the trail there are several view points/resting areas. The trail is not doable with little kids, strollers or wheelchairs. At certain points the trail gets really narrow and only one person can pass at the time. Just FYI, some of the locals aren’t that friendly towards foreigners and they think all foreigners should move out of the way for them! They keep walking side by side and they expect others to move out of the way. Pretty sad if you ask me. But walking with your elbows up in a situation like that really helps if you know what I mean! The hike is about 3.5 Km one way and it’ll take you 1.5h when walking at a faster pace. Highly recommended for the views and nature!

I think I’d underestimated this trail a bit. I thought it was gonna be a 1-hour hike but ended up taking almost 3 hours. I was exhausted. Still enjoyed it (except for the last kilometer where I was just struggling) and the views were lovely! Recommend doing this hike :)

Very nice and easy coastal trail. The views are incredibly stunning. The trail is well kept and there are not too many people even on the weekend. The trail is around 6km long and we took 2 hours to complete it (with many breaks in between to take pictures). If you go to Busan and have extra free time, this trail is highly recommended
