Strolling the Approximately 1 km White Sandy Beach and Savoring Fresh Seto Inland Sea Lunch
About this spot
A beautiful coastal stretch spanning roughly 1 km with white sand and pine forests—a classic white sand and green pine landscape. Selected as one of Japan's 100 finest beaches, this shallow-water shore offers views of the Seto Bridge (瀬戸大橋) and Shikoku's mountain ranges beyond. While summer brings crowds as a top swimming destination in the prefecture, other seasons offer their own pleasures: walks along the water's edge, sandcastle building, and shell collecting. A nature trail runs along the coast with benches for seaside contemplation. Dining at nearby restaurants to savor fresh seafood from the Seto Inland Sea is another highlight of this course.
Tips
Parking available along the coast (paid and crowded during swimming season). If playing on the beach, bring spare clothes and towels for the children. Lunch options include seaside restaurants or a picnic under the pine trees.
Best time to visit
About 2 hours. Midday sun creates the most striking contrast between white sand and blue sea.
