Free Swimming at the Sandy Beach with Showers and AED Facilities; Enjoy Beach Activities Until Evening

About this spot

Namiha Beach (浪早ビーチ) is a swimming beach in the Wakaura area of Wakayama City. In 2026, it opens from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from July 1 (Wednesday) to August 31 (Monday). Swimming is free, and the beach is equipped with showers (fee-based), restrooms, shops, and an AED, providing a safe and comfortable environment for families with small children. The sandy beach facing a calm inlet has relatively quiet waves, making it perfect for water play and sand play at the shoreline. After a full morning of enjoying the mackerel cutting demonstration and temple visits, this beach is the climax of the course where you can fully enjoy the sea until evening.
