Stroll the White Sand Beach and Pacific Ocean, Scout the Venue During the Day
About this spot
Facing Tanabe Bay, Ougi-ga-hama is a white sand beach representing Tanabe City and the venue for tonight's fireworks festival. Beyond the gracefully curving sand beach lies the Pacific Ocean, with views stretching to the horizon on clear days—a wonderful sense of openness. Developed as a park with grassy areas and walking paths, it's ideal for leisurely time with children. Confirming the venue's topography and layout during the day gives you a sense of where to secure your spot in the evening. October is after the swimming season, creating a calm beach atmosphere perfect for a relaxed stroll, something unique to this time of year.
Fireworks details
Name: 田辺花火大会
Date & time: 10/3 (Sat) 20:00–20:20
Venue: 田辺市・扇ヶ浜
Shells: approx. 3,500
田辺花火大会は、田辺湾に面した扇ヶ浜を会場に開催される、和歌山県南部を代表する花火大会です。2026年は10月3日(土)20時から20時20分まで、約3,500発が打ち上がります。海上から打ち上げられる花火は遮るものがなく、砂浜から正面に大きく見えるのが扇ヶ浜ならではの醍醐味。秋の澄んだ夜空と穏やかな海面に映る光のコントラストは、夏とは一味違う落ち着いた美しさがあります。紀伊半島の自然に包まれた田辺の夜に打ち上がる大輪の花火は、1日かけて訪れる価値のある光景です。
Tips
荒天時の開催可否は田辺市や大会主催者の公式発表で必ず確認してください。終了後はJR紀伊田辺駅周辺が混雑するため、フィナーレ後は砂浜で少し余韻を楽しんでから移動する時間差帰宅がおすすめです。足元が暗くなるのでライトを用意しておきましょう。
Tips
Approximately 15 minutes on foot from JR Kii-Tanabe Station. The parking lot in the park fills up early on the night of the fireworks festival. The sand is fine, so sneakers are more comfortable than sandals for walking. Plan ahead during the day to spot where you'll place your leisure sheet for viewing the fireworks.
Best time to visit
Approximately 2 hours required. During the clear light of daytime, the blue of the sea looks its most beautiful.
