Lunch While Watching Dolphins and Penguins
About this spot
A popular aquarium within walking distance of Suma Beach, packed with attractions including dolphin shows and penguin walks. The circular water tank where you can watch fish swimming in the large tank up close and the dolphin show in the outdoor pool are hugely popular with children. The facility also has restaurants and cafes, making it convenient to get proper nutrition before expending energy at the beach. The air-conditioned interior is also valuable as a place to cool off and take a break away from the scorching midsummer heat.

Venue: 神戸市須磨区・須磨海水浴場
神戸市須磨区に広がる須磨海水浴場は、2026年は7月9日(木)から8月23日(日)まで、9時30分から17時までの開設です。市街地からのアクセスの良さで知られ、電車で気軽に訪れられる神戸を代表する海水浴場のひとつ。遊泳は無料で、更衣室・シャワー・トイレ・ロッカーといった設備が整っているほか、海の家も3店舗営業しているため、食事や休憩にも困りません。波打ち際でのんびり水遊びをしたり、砂浜で砂のお城づくりをしたり、家族それぞれのペースで夏の海を楽しめます。
Tips
遊泳無料ですが、シャワーやロッカーなど一部設備は有料です。夏の砂浜は熱いのでビーチサンダルが必携。遊泳時間は17時までなので、着替えの時間を見込んで16時45分ごろには切り上げるのがおすすめです。混雑する週末は海の家の利用も早めに済ませておくと安心です。
Tips
About a 10-minute walk from Suma Beach. The dolphin show has set times, so confirm the schedule upon arrival for a smooth experience. The in-facility restaurants can get crowded during certain times, so arriving earlier or later than around noon is recommended.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour 45 minutes required. Visiting in the morning is relatively uncrowded and recommended.
