Season & hours
Name: 東小樽海水浴場
Date & time: 7/11 (Sat)–8/23 (Sun)
Venue: 小樽市・東小樽海水浴場
小樽市内にある海水浴場で、2026年は7月11日(土)から8月23日(日)まで開設されます。水洗・仮設トイレが整備されており、小さな子ども連れでも安心して過ごせます。浜辺は石浜で、遠浅の砂浜とはひと味違う小樽らしい海岸線が特徴。料金は駐車場を含めて無料なので、気軽に立ち寄れるのも魅力です。小樽市総合博物館からも近く、街歩きと海水浴を無理なく組み合わせられる立地の良さも人気の理由です。夕方まで、家族みんなで波遊びと水遊びを満喫しましょう。
Tips
石浜のためビーチサンダルが必須です。裸足で歩くと痛いので、水遊び用の靴があるとより快適です。トイレは水洗と仮設が用意されていますが、更衣スペースは限られるため、水着を着てから向かうとスムーズです。駐車場も無料ですが、夏の週末は混み合うことがあるので早めの到着がおすすめです。
Tips
Excellent access, about 1 minute on foot from JR Otaru Station (JR小樽駅). Lunch time gets crowded, so arriving around 12 o'clock is recommended. Some shops accept cash only, so having cash on hand is advisable.
Best time to visit
Approximately 45 minutes required. Arriving in the early 12 o'clock hour allows relatively smooth seating.
