Overview

Songdo Cloud Trails is a 365-meter-long curved pedestrian skywalk extending over the ocean at Songdo Beach. It features sections with transparent glass floors, allowing visitors to see the sea surface directly beneath their feet. The structure connects the beach to Geobukseom (Turtle Island), a small islet featuring bronze sculptures of a dragon and a turtle. As part of a larger coastal redevelopment, it links to a nearby marine cable car terminal. The walkway is engineered to withstand strong winds and high tides typical of the Busan coastline. Its S-shaped design creates varying viewing angles of the city skyline and the surrounding coastal cliffs.

Insider tips

Wear comfortable, flat shoes as the metal grid flooring can be difficult for high heels.

The walkway can get windy; bring a light jacket even in temperate seasons.

What to avoid

Do not lean over the side railings, as security sensors are highly sensitive and will trigger alarms.
