Hamasaka Prefectural Citizens' Beach (浜坂県民サンビーチ)

Flow of the course

About this spot

The representative ocean bathing beach of Shin-onsen Town and the venue for tonight's fireworks display. The beautiful white sandy beach with continuing pine groves is known within the Sanin Coast Geopark for its exceptionally clear waters. During summer, the beach bustles with swimmers; simply walking along the shoreline lets you fully immerse yourself in the refreshing Sea of Japan atmosphere. Walking the beach during daytime to familiarize yourself with its layout and identify good viewing spots for evening makes securing a prime location much smoother. The shade of the pine groves is perfect for rest, and the time children spend playing in the waves becomes a particularly special moment of the day.

Tips

Approximately 5 minutes by car from Hamasaka Station, or 15-20 minutes on foot. During the summer bathing season, showers and restrooms are available. On fireworks night, positioning begins in the evening, so confirming your preferred spot during the afternoon is advisable. The sun is intense, so don't forget sunscreen and a hat.

Best time to visit

Approximately 2 hours required. In the afternoon, as the sun begins to lower, the sea's color becomes even more vivid.
