A considerate tip
“For a Saturday show, treat the posted time as a planning reference—not a promise. The usual schedule is two shows, 20:00 and 22:00 from March to September, then 19:00 and 21:00 from October to February. Check the English official notice after leaving your hotel, because rain, strong wind, or technical conditions can delay or cancel it.”

A simple plan
Arrive for the beach, not just the show.
Before leaving: Open the latest official notice. Rain, strong wind, typhoons, or communication conditions can delay or cancel a performance.
Get there: Use Gwangan Station or Geumnyeonsan Station on Metro Line 2, then walk downhill to the shore. Pick any relaxed point along the beach with a view of the bridge.
Go home: Allow extra time after the show. The beach blocks and nearby taxi pickup points are busiest immediately afterward, so walking back toward the metro is often simpler.
Before leaving your hotel
The regular times are a planning reference, not a guarantee. The official page says each show lasts more than 12 minutes and may be delayed or cancelled because of weather or communication conditions.
