Sea bathing on pure white sand until evening. Swimming is free and the restrooms are free too

About this spot

A swimming beach in Goza, Shima City (志摩市御座), memorable for its pure white sand. In 2026 it is open from Wednesday, July 1 to Monday, August 31, and swimming can be enjoyed for free. The restrooms are free to use as well, and about seven beach houses line the sand, so you will have no trouble finding meals or shade. The clear sea and open scenery typical of the tip of the Shima Peninsula (志摩半島) are perfect for forgetting the bustle of the city and taking it easy. From playing at the water's edge to building sandcastles, you can enjoy summer to the fullest until evening.

Tips

There are several privately run showers and parking lots, all of them paid. Checking the fees and locations before use makes things smooth. Summer sand is hot, so beach sandals are essential. Allow time for changing and wrap up with a little room to spare.

Best time to visit

From just after 1 p.m. the sunlight is steady, making it the time slot for plenty of swimming until evening
