Commemorative photos with the camel statues right beside the beach
About this spot
A memorial park connected to the children's song Tsuki no Sabaku (月の沙漠), standing on the dunes right beside Onjuku Beach (御宿海水浴場). Because the lyricist Masao Kato (加藤まさを) is said to have found his inspiration on the shore of Onjuku (御宿), statues of a prince and princess riding camels stand as if looking down on the sand. Lawn and rolling dunes spread around the statues, and it is popular as a photo spot styled after a camel's back. Stopping by before sea bathing lets you look down on the sea you are about to play in, giving the atmosphere a perfect start to the day.

夷隅郡御宿町に広がる御宿海水浴場は、中央・浜・岩和田の3つの海岸が弧を描くように連なる、房総を代表する海水浴場のひとつです。2026年は7月18日(土)から8月23日(日)まで開設され、営業時間は8時30分から17時まで。遠浅で波が穏やかな砂浜は、波打ち際での水遊びから砂のお城づくりまで、小さな子ども連れでも安心して楽しめます。海水浴場の周辺には有料駐車場も整備されており、車での来訪もしやすいのがうれしいポイント。1日の締めくくりにふさわしい、夏らしい時間を過ごせます。
Tips
御宿駅から徒歩圏内の海岸で、周辺には有料駐車場が点在しています。営業時間は17時までなので、着替えや片付けの時間を見込んで16時45分ごろには切り上げるのがおすすめです。夏の砂浜は熱いのでビーチサンダルを忘れずに。料金は場所によって異なることがあるため、現地の案内表示を確認しましょう。
Tips
It is within walking distance of Onjuku Beach (御宿海水浴場) and has an attached parking lot, making it easy to stop by car too. The ground around the statues is sandy with steps, so going around from the path side is recommended with a stroller. The morning sun is relatively soft, which suits taking photos.
Best time to visit
About 45 minutes. The morning, before sea bathing and before the sun gets strong, is recommended
