Songdo Beach is a human-made beach in Busan, South Korea. It was created in the year 1913. The name Songdo (the Island of Pines) was given due to the thick pine forest covering the island. It was the first beach in Korea, and was developed by the Songdo Amusement Cooperation Ltd. In 1964, a cable car passed directly over the beach connecting Geobuk (Turtle) Island with Songdo, and a girder bridge linking Songlim Park with Geobuk Island were completed. Revitalization efforts by the local government in the 2000s added a sky sruise tram over the bay.
