Imnang Beach

This guide to Imnang Beach in Busan follows the smell of raw-fish restaurants along the shore back to the fishing families who still work this remote stretch near the Ulsan border, too far from rail and highway to become like Busan's busier beaches. It traces the name Imnang, meaning pine forest and silver waves, to fishermen who once rowed onto Imnang Stream after the day's catch to drift under the pines by moonlight. Look at the restaurant fronts and you're looking at households that still fish to eat.
