Songjeong 송정 Beach Reggae Fest

We took a bike ride with our friend, Ann-Marie, and rode over to Songjeong 송정 beach for the Reggae Festival – a weekend long music festival with bands from several countries including Korea and Japan.

We took the scenic route along Haeundae 해운대 beach – since it’s August, the beach season is in full swing with umbrellas as far as the eye can see.

After this, on the very fast and fun descent, there is a great lookout onto Songjeong 송정 beach

We arrived to the beach and took our tube in the water to play. Our friend, Amy, joined us as well.

The waves were kicking! Some were 6 feet (2 meters) tall which is high for Korea

Here’s a couple videos of Shannon and her tube

Next, we walked over to the stage to check out some reggae

This Japanese band really got the crowd into their set with some good tunes.
