2026 One-Day Full-Enjoyment Course: Sami Beach (沙美海水浴場)

This one-day course centers on Sami Beach (沙美海水浴場) in Kurashiki City, open from Wednesday, July 1 through Sunday, August 23, 2026, and leisurely tours the Tamashima area. In the morning, enjoy a stroll with views over the Seto Inland Sea (瀬戸内海) at the lush, green Entsuji Park (円通寺公園), then snack and have lunch at the shopping street in Tamashima's old townscape. After a break at Kasaoka Bay Farm (笠岡ベイファーム), a facility you can stop by like a roadside station, it's finally time to head to Sami Beach (沙美海水浴場). Known for its shallow, gently sloping shore and calm waves, Sami Beach is free to swim at. The management building operates in July and August, and 150 parking spaces are available at Nishihama (西浜), making it easy to visit by car too. From splashing at the water's edge to playing in the sand, the whole family can fully enjoy the Seto Inland Sea in summer. Pack your swimsuit and towel and head out for a summer day in Okayama and Kurashiki.
