The beach is open year-round. Various festivals are held there throughout the year, including the Polar Bear Club, held annually in January since 1988, in which participants bathe in near-freezing water.[2] The beach hosts a number of e-sports events designed to promote Blizzard games including StarCraft.[3]

Haeundae is associated with cinema, due to the Busan International Film Festival and the 2009 disaster film Tidal Wave.[4]
