Sea bathing until evening on a shore looking out at the huge rock Tateiwa

About this spot

A swimming beach in Tango-cho, Kyotango City (京丹後市丹後町), open in 2026 from Saturday, July 11 to Sunday, August 16. Swimming hours are from 9:00 to 17:00. Its distinctive feature is the view of Tateiwa (立岩), a huge rock about 20 m high jutting out offshore, and the contrast between the clear blue Sea of Japan (日本海) and the white sand makes for a beautiful beach. Showers (cold water free), restrooms and changing rooms are in place, and there is parking for 100 cars, so families can spend the day without worrying about luggage or changing. From playing at the water's edge to playing in the sand, enjoy the sea of the Tango Peninsula (丹後半島) at length until evening.

Season & hours

Tips

Parking is 1,500 yen per day for a standard car. Swimming is free, but checking facilities other than the showers in advance is reassuring. Summer sand gets hot, so beach sandals are essential. Swimming hours end at 17:00, so allowing time to change and wrapping up 15 minutes beforehand is recommended.

Best time to visit

From just after 2 p.m. the sunlight softens a little, making it the time slot for plenty of swimming until evening
