Songdo Beach, Marine Cable Car & Cloud Trail
송도해수욕장·송도해상케이블카
South Korea's first public seawater beach, linked by a 1.6 km sea cable car, the Songdo Cloud Trail over the water, and the Songdo Dragon Palace Suspension Bridge along the western coast.
Songdo Beach opened in 1913 as South Korea's first public seawater beach. Today its main draw is the Songdo Marine Cable Car, which crosses about 1.6 km of sea from Songlim Park on the east side to Amnam Park on the opposite shore. The glass-floored cabins let you see the sea beneath your feet. A round trip costs roughly 20,000 won. At the east end of the beach, the Songdo Cloud Trail extends out over the water with a glass floor, and it is free. On the Amnam Park side are the Songdo Dragon Palace Suspension Bridge and a coastal walkway. It pairs well with Jagalchi and Huinnyeoul Culture Village for a half-day trip. Getting there: take a bus from Nampo-dong for about 15 minutes. The cable car operates roughly 09:00 to 21:00, and weekend queues can be long.
