Season & hours

Tips

About 5 minutes on foot from Hase Station or Wadatsuka Station. Swimming is free; beach house rest and showers are paid. The summer sand gets hot, so beach sandals are essential. Make use of parasol and tent rentals for sun protection. Swimming hours end at 5 p.m., so plan to finish 15 minutes early to allow time for changing. On crowded weekends, parking fills more easily in the afternoon, but public transportation is safer.

Best time to visit

After 2 p.m., the afternoon sun is somewhat gentler, providing plenty of time to swim until evening
