The Port of Busan is the largest in South Korea, handling some of the highest amounts of cargo in the world each year. It is situated at the mouth of the Nakton River, on the south-eastern tip of the Korean Peninsula. The city is home to almost four million people, making it the second largest in South Korea. However, Busan is more than just a port. Haeundae Beach attracts thousands of visitors from all over the country, thanks to its long stretch of pristine sand and the variety of excellent restaurants. The Port of Busan is an important gateway to southern Japan, with frequent sailings provided to Osaka, Hakata (Fukuoka) and Shimonoseki.
