    3. Traveler tips

    • Wear shoes with grip because exposed sections can be wet after rain.
    • Walk east from the trail back to Haeundae Beach, or continue inland to the market for food.
    • Treat Nurimaru as a separate indoor visit; a building closure does not automatically close every outdoor trail segment, and a trail opening does not prove the building is open.
