Enjoy dinner at festival food stalls and savor the festive atmosphere before showtime
About this spot
On the day of the Hiwasa Sea Turtle Festival, food stalls line the area surrounding Ohama Beach, and the festivities reach their peak from evening through just before the fireworks begin. Enjoying local foods and classic festival fare while waiting for the show to start is the heart of the festival experience. The Ohama Beach at dusk is enchanting as the colors of the sky and sea change by the moment; it's an ideal time to linger while gazing at the quiet ocean before the fireworks. You might also spread out the drinks and light snacks you purchased at the Michi-no-Eki here. As night deepens, the festival's buzz builds, and anticipation for the fireworks naturally grows.
Fireworks details
Name: 日和佐うみがめまつり納涼花火大会
Date & time: 7/18 (Sat) Time TBA
Venue: 美波町・大浜海岸周辺
日和佐うみがめまつりのクライマックスを飾る納涼花火大会の会場は、アカウミガメの産卵地としても知られる大浜海岸とその周辺です。太平洋に面した開放感あふれる浜から見上げる花火は、海の広さを存分に感じさせてくれます。潮の香りと波の音が花火の音と重なり、都市部の花火大会とはひと味違う臨場感があります。まつりのにぎわいの中、地元の人々と一緒に見上げる夏の夜空の花火は、美波町の夏の風物詩として長く愛されてきた光景です。フィナーレの余韻が消えたら、浜で少しのんびりしてから混雑が落ち着くのを待って帰路につきましょう。
Tips
開催時間は当日の公式案内で確認してください(時間未定のため)。荒天時の開催可否も公式の発表を確認しましょう。終了後はJR日和佐駅や周辺道路が混み合うため、列車の時刻は事前に調べておくことをおすすめします。帰りの浜辺は足元が暗いので、スマートフォンのライトや小型ライトがあると安全です。
Tips
Food stalls operate only on the festival day, so exact locations and offerings cannot be confirmed beforehand; however, it's customary for food vendors to set up at seaside festival fireworks events. With crowds expected, it's reassuring to purchase drinks in advance at Michi-no-Eki Hiwasa. Use restroom facilities early to avoid long waits.
Best time to visit
Takes approximately 1 hour 30 minutes. The beach at sunset is the most beautiful time of the day.
